Steam-Baked Ham with Hot Honey Glaze

Why people reserve honey-glazed ham for the holidays is beyond me. I mean, you absolutely should enjoy it around the holidays if ham is your thing. But if ham is your thing, why not eat it other times throughout the year, too? In addition to keeping it around for sandwiches and snacking, a honey-glazed ham makes a delicious dinner. And it’s a lot easier than it sounds when you start with a smoked ham (both spiral-cut and whole hams work well). The hard part has already been done for you; all that’s left is making a simple glaze and popping it in the Anova Precision Oven for less than an hour. And because the Precision Oven can replace some of the steam a traditional oven would remove, the meat won’t dry out either.  Note: While this is technically made with hot honey, by the time it’s brushed on the ham and caramelized, you’ll only get a kid-friendly amount of heat at the end. For more heat, add additional or hotter peppers to your heart’s content. (You’ll also have some hot honey left over for garnishing this ham or using in other recipes.) Leftover honey should be stored in the refrigerator and used within 4 days to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
