How to Make Gluten Free Ham
Making a gluten free ham with orange honey glaze is super simple.
Place ham in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish. Add 1 cup of water, broth, or orange juice to the bottom of the pan.
In a saucepan over medium heat combine the brown sugar, honey and orange marmalade. Continue to stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Spoon half of the glaze over the ham. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Spoon the remaining glaze over the ham and bake another 15 minutes.

What is a boneless ham?
A boneless ham means there’s no bone. The bone is removed before the ham is processed or cooked.
Most boneless hams come cooked, unless you opt for an uncooked one.
Warm this ham in the oven at 325°F or 350°F. Add the ham to baking dish with a half cup of water. If desired, top it with your favorite glaze, or mine (below). Just place a sheet of foil over the top, and cook for about 30 minutes at most.
What is a bone-in ham?
A bone in ham means the bone was left in. The benefit of a bone-in ham is that it maintains the flavor and helps with moisture.
The downside to a bone in ham is that you have to cut around the bone to serve.
Save your leftover ham bone for soup or broth.
Is ham gluten free?
Often people ask if ham is gluten free. Yes, ham is pork, and pork is naturally gluten free. Whether you’re buying a pre-cooked ham or a raw ham, make sure to check labels to ensure no gluten ingredients were added.
You might find gluten ingredients if the ham was injected with broth or in the seasoning packet included.
We are using a pre-cooked ham in this gluten free ham recipe. Bake it covered in a shallow dish, in a crockpot, or in a slow cooker to help prevent it from drying out.
Sugary glazes can burn on the stovetop. Make sure to continue to stir the glaze to prevent it from burning to the pan.
Crockpot Gluten Free Ham
If you want to make this gluten free ham in a crockpot or slow cooker, add the ham and 1 cup of water or orange juice to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours.
When you’re ready to add your glaze, place the ham on a foil lined baking sheet and brush on the orange honey glaze. Broil for 5-10 minutes until the glaze starts to brown.
