I am an ambassador for Petit Jean Meats. I was provided with a ham for recipe development purposes, but I was not compensated for this post. 

My favorite Petit Jean Ozark Hickory Smoked Spiral Sliced Ham  is always the star of our holiday dinners, especially Easter dinner.

Step by Step Directions

1. Place your ham in a baking dish. Pour pineapple juice over ham. 
2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic, chili powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and black pepper together.
3. Rub brown sugar mixture over all sides of ham, using your hands to press the rub onto the ham.
4. Bake at 325° for 10 minutes per pound. Every 15 minutes, remove ham from oven and spoon juices over the entire ham and in between slices. 

Pineapple Juice combines with the brown sugar and spices to create a tender, juicy and delicious ham.

How to Cook a Smoked Ham:

A smoked ham is precooked and just needs to be heated through. Figure about 10 minutes per pound at 325°. You can wrap in foil to keep it moist. Glazing the ham will also help to retain moisture.

If you enjoy the crispy edges from the sticky brown sugar glaze, you can skip the foil. 

How Much Ham Should I Buy?

With a bone-in, spiral cut ham you can figure about ¾ pound per person. A Petit Jean Half Ham will feed about 10 people. 

What Temperature Should I Bake My Ham?

Since spiral sliced hams come fully cooked, it's best to bake at 325° to keep it from drying out.

A bone-in spiral sliced ham is my favorite for holiday meals. You are going to get the most flavorful ham when it's cooked with the bone. Plus you can keep that bone for a nice pot of crock pot black eyed peas or Slow Cooker Black Beans! I love the spiral cut because it makes it so easy to serve.

Side Dishes for Ham:

Potato Gratin is filled with a cheesy sauce for the creamiest and most delicious potatoes, we also love Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole with a holiday ham or go for a classic with these Creamy Mashed Potatoes.

The Best Macaroni Salad is a must for our holiday dinners and it's amazing with ham. Creamy Dill Potato Salad is an easy make ahead side that is great for any meal. 

Dinner rolls are a must for any ham dinner and these Buttermilk Ricotta Skillet Rolls are super easy, Rich Refrigerator Rolls or Angel Rolls are always wonderful with ham.
