Total time: 1 h 55 min
Yield: 16 servings.
Ingredients: 1 boneless fully cooked ham (5 to 7 pounds); 1/4 cup honey, warmed; 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves; 1 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 cup prepared horseradish; 1/4 cup lemon juice

When my husband and I first tasted this delicious ham, we were surprised to learn that the sauce included horseradish. That secret ingredient definitely is the key to its tangy taste. I serve it for Easter and Christmas.

Ingredients

1 boneless fully cooked ham (5 to 7 pounds)
1/4 cup honey, warmed
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions

Cut ham into 1/4-in. slices and tie with kitchen string. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Combine honey and cloves; drizzle over ham. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/4 hours, basting often with drippings.
Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, horseradish and lemon juice. Baste ham with brown sugar sauce, allowing sauce to drip down between the slices. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 140°.

I make this ham EVERY time I make ham! It is by far the best ham I have ever made and my family isn't even that fond of horseradish. I have shared this recipe with all of my friends!
