Ingredients
- 1 (8-10 lb) fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whole cloves for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°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, insert a whole clove at each intersection.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Brush half of the glaze over the ham. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting every 30 minutes with pan juices.
- Remove foil and brush remaining glaze over ham. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake uncovered for 15-30 minutes, basting once, until glaze is sticky and caramelized. Internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C).
- Let ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1 cup of pineapple juice or orange juice to the bottom of the roasting pan before baking.
- Leftover ham can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- If the glaze begins to darken too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
