Equipment

6-to-8-quart cast iron Dutch oven

Ingredients

One (4-pound | 1.6-kg) spiral cut ham preferably bone-in
½ cup orange juice divided
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

If cooking over a campfire, prepare a fire and let it reduce to hot coals.
Line a large Dutch oven with parchment paper. Place the ham in the Dutch oven and pour ¼ cup of the orange juice over it.
In a small saucepan, combine the remaining ¼ cup of orange juice, sugar, butter, and mustard and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Cover the Dutch oven and place it over the hot coals or over medium-low heat on a camp stove or stovetop. Let it cook until the ham is heated to 130°F (55°C), about 1 hour. Replenish the coals if necessary to maintain even heat.
Remove the lid and brush the ham generously with the glaze, letting it run down between any slices that have started to separate. Cover the Dutch oven and continue cooking until the ham has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), 10 to 15 minutes more.
Slice and serve.

Notes

Get ahead--Make the glaze up to 3 days before using. Store it in a sealed container in your fridge or cooler.
Line the Dutch oven--Lining your Dutch oven with parchment or foil makes for quick clean up, and makes it easy to lift the ham out of the pot.
Save the ham bone--Don't toss out your ham bone! It's perfect for making soup.
Storage and reheating--Store leftover ham in a sealed container in your fridge or cooler for up to 3 days. Reheat in your Dutch oven over medium heat with a little water or orange juice in the bottom until warmed through.
Dietary--This Dutch oven ham recipe is suitable for gluten-free diets.
