Praline Glazed Ham is a spiral cut ham covered in a sweet praline glaze with lots of pecans, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Some Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper balance the sweetness of the glaze.

This easy-to-make ham is sure to add lots of flavor to your holiday table.
To make Praline Glazed Ham you begin with a fully cooked spiral cut ham. I get mine at Costco. Then the ham is wrapped in aluminum foil so that it doesn’t dry out and cooked in a 275 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours. Since the ham is already cooked, we’re really just cooking it to warm it slowly.

 
Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of  120 degrees, the oven temperature is raised to 400 degrees and the ham is basted with praline glaze. Ten minutes gets the glaze nice and warm and it begins to seep down into the cracks. Another basting of glaze and a quick broil to crisp it up some and this Praline Glazed Ham is ready to take center stage on your holiday table!
Be sure to serve Praline Glazed Ham with some Super Creamy Mac & Cheese! They are a match made in heaven!
