Honey Glazed Ham in the Air Fryer
Ingredients
Method
- Remove ham from fridge 2 hours before cooking to reach room temperature.
- Make the glaze: Combine brown sugar, honey, orange juice, mustard, cinnamon, clove, and black pepper in a small saucepan. Heat and whisk until brown sugar dissolves. Set aside.
- Remove any netting from the ham. Score the ham with shallow 1/2-inch criss-cross cuts if not pre-sliced.
- For basket air fryers: Line basket with foil. Place ham on foil, brush with glaze, and wrap ham tightly with foil.
- For oven-style air fryers: Place ham in an 8″x8″ baking pan that fits your air fryer. Brush with glaze and wrap tightly with foil.
- Air fry at 340°F (170°C) for 25 minutes. Open foil, brush ham with more glaze, close foil tightly, and air fry for another 25 minutes.
- Open foil again. For basket style, create a foil boat to hold juices. For oven style, remove foil.
- Brush with remaining glaze and increase heat to 360°F (180°C) for 5 minutes, or until caramelized.
