Ingredients
- 1 (8-10 lb) fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whole cloves for studding (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Place ham cut-side down on a rack in a roasting pan. Score the surface in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep. If desired, stud each diamond center with a whole clove.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and cinnamon to form a paste.
- Brush half of the glaze over the ham. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, brush with remaining glaze, and increase oven temperature to 400°F (204°C). Bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes more, until glaze is caramelized and internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup pineapple juice to the pan before baking.
- Leftover ham can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- If ham is pre-glazed, reduce sugar in glaze to 1/2 cup.
