Plum Sauce Glazed Ham with Soy & Scallion Butter Roasted Potatoes
This glazed ham recipe is about as simple as it gets. Just buy bone-in spiral ham, and mix together a glaze of plum sauce, a little honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and a bit of five-spice powder for a slightly non-traditional twist on a holiday favorite.

Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 spiral sliced bone-in half ham ((about 10-12 pounds))
- 2/3 cup plum sauce ((for a milder flavor, substitute plum jam))
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder

- salt and pepper

- 1 tablespoon butter ((melted))
- 2 scallions ((chopped))
Instructions
- 1
Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan, cover tightly in foil, and begin warming according to the package instructions. Mix together the plum sauce, honey, soy sauce, dijon, and five spice powder to make the glaze. Before the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and brush the glaze all over the ham. Roast for the last 30 minutes uncovered, basting the ham with more glaze halfway through.

Meanwhile, toss the potatoes on a baking sheet in olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper (Not too much! Remember, you’ll be tossing it in soy sauce, which is also salty). Roast the potatoes for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to get them to brown evenly. Toss the potatoes in the soy sauce, melted butter, and scallions. Serve alongside the ham!

Note: This recipe obviously is easier if you have a double oven, but it can be done with one oven by allowing the ham to rest, covered, after it’s baked. During that time, you can roast the potatoes and serve everything together once they’re done!
