Ingredients & Variations
SMOKED HAM: Most hams are fully cooked before they go to market. For this recipe, any smoked ham up to 3 pounds will work in this recipe!
GLAZE: This sweet honey glaze is made from honey, brown sugar, a citrus juice like orange (or pineapple), and a dash of Dijon mustard makes a sweet-savory glaze. Maple syrup can be used in place of honey in the sauce.
Change up the flavor by adding a sprinkle of nutmeg, ginger, cloves, or cinnamon.
How to Make Honey Glazed Ham in the Air Fryer
- Foil wrap ham and place ham in the air fryer (as per the recipe below).
- Remove from the air fryer and brush on the honey mixture. Open the foil and cook more until it reached the desired internal temperature.
- Remove ham from the air fryer and let it rest. Cut and serve.
Leftover Ham?
Honey glazed air fryer ham will keep covered in the fridge for up to 7 days. Enjoy it cold or warm it up in the air fryer until it is crispy on the edges again. Slices can be frozen between sheets of parchment paper in a zippered bag for up to 4 months, although once, thawed, they might not be as firm.
Leftovers are so good to add to a mini egg, ham, and cheese quiche, or an air fryer ham, egg, & cheese hot pockets.
