Ingredients:
- 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (7-9 pounds)
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Serves: 12-14
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to remove the ham from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Score the ham with a sharp knife before glazing to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Baste the ham with the glaze every 20 minutes to ensure a crispy and flavorful crust.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, Sriracha sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

4. Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush with the glaze. Bake for 2-2 1/2 hours, basting with the glaze every 20 minutes.
