Serves: 8–10 • Prep Time: 10 minutes • Cook Time: 55 minutes • Total: 1 hour 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 (5–6 lb) spiral sliced bone-in pre-cooked ham
- 1/4 cup honey (Orange Blossom recommended)
- 1/4 cup brewed Java Momma Indian Monsoon or Peaberry Medium coffee
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp Java Momma Chai Spice Blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a deep roasting pan with foil for easy cleanup. Place ham flat-side down in the pan.
- In a small pot over low heat, whisk together honey and brewed coffee. Simmer gently until reduced by one-third. Cool slightly, then brush generously over the ham, working between slices.
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, and Chai Spice Blend. Pat this mixture over the sticky coffee-honey glaze.
- Roast for 45 minutes. Remove and baste with pan juices, then return to oven for 5–10 minutes until glossy and caramelized.
- Let rest 20 minutes before carving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Tidbits
- Leftover magic: Layer slices on biscuits with eggs or in a grilled cheese for next-day brilliance.
- Swap options: Try maple syrup or molasses for a deeper sweetness.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare glaze the day before — just warm before brushing on.
