That meal disappeared in no time – not a scrap of meat was left behind.

Honey baked ham is a classic dish that brings warmth and comfort to any gathering. This recipe has been passed down through generations in many families, especially here in the Midwest, where hearty meals are a staple. The combination of sweet honey and smoky, tender ham creates a juicy delight that’s perfect for holidays, family dinners, or any special occasion. Making this dish is a wonderful way to show love and care to those around your table.
This honey baked ham pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. Consider serving it with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad to balance the sweetness of the ham. For a truly Midwestern touch, add a side of buttered corn or a warm, flaky biscuit. Don't forget a tangy cranberry sauce or a dollop of mustard to complement the flavors.
