Root Beer Glazed Ham Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 2-1/2 hours

Yield: 15 Servings

15 150 165

Ingredients

1 bone-in fully cooked spiral-sliced ham (7 to 9 pounds)
3 cups root beer
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons steak sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Bake at 325° for 2 hours.
In a large saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
Brush ham with some of the glaze; bake 30-60 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140°, brushing occasionally with remaining glaze. Yield: 15 servings.
