Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 to 8 pounds spiral-cut ham, skin-on
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
  • Baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Fresh lemon juice, to taste
  • Slivered almonds, toasted (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Position oven rack in the lower third.
  2. Remove ham from packaging and pat dry. Score surface in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep. Place ham fat side up on roasting rack in pan.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and cloves if using until smooth and sticky.
  4. Use a basting brush to coat ham with half the glaze. Reserve remaining glaze.
  5. Roast ham for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with remaining glaze. Tent loosely with foil if glaze darkens too quickly.
  6. While ham roasts, toss halved potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  7. About 30 minutes before ham is done, spread potatoes around ham in roasting pan or on separate baking sheet. Roast until crispy and golden, about 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  8. Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Blanch green beans for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and plunge into ice water.
  9. Sauté green beans in skillet with butter or olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for about 3 minutes until warmed through. Sprinkle toasted almonds on top if desired.
  10. Let ham rest for 10 minutes after removing from oven. Slice and serve with roasted potatoes and green beans.

Notes

Score the ham to allow glaze to penetrate. Baste regularly to keep ham moist and glaze sticky. Tent with foil if glaze darkens too quickly. Toss potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispness. Blanch green beans before sautéing to keep vibrant color and tender-crisp texture. Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 4 days and taste better the next day.
