How to Make Ranch-Glazed Baked Ham

This ham is effortless to make with only a few simple ingredients. Place the ham in a large roasting pan lined with aluminum foil. In a bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, ranch seasoning, brown sugar, dijon mustard, honey, and orange juice. Brush half of the glaze mixture on the outside of the ham and in between the ham slices. Tightly cover the ham with aluminum foil. Bake for 2½ hours.

Remove the foil and bake uncovered until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140ºF. Remove the ham from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Pour any cooking liquids from the bottom of the pan over the ham, if desired. Use a sharp knife to cut the ham into slices.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

I use a large bone-in ham for this recipe.
- Since the ham is already cooked, you are only heating up the ham. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 140ºF.
- Cook the ham for about 13 to 16 minutes per pound.
Make sure to get the glaze in between all the slices. You want every slice to have amazing flavor.
Can substitute pineapple juice for orange juice.

What to Serve with Glazed Ham

This has quickly become our go-to holiday ham recipe. It tastes great hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature. This goes great with all of the holiday fixings – potato casserole, corn, and green beans.

Leftovers are equally delicious! I always buy a bigger ham than we need just to have leftover ham. This ham makes the BEST ham sandwiches. Top the sandwich with some honey mustard and cheese – oh, yes!
