Ingredients
- 1 (8-10 lb) fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Place ham cut-side down on a rack in a roasting pan. Score the surface in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cloves, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Brush about half the glaze over the ham, reserving the rest for basting.
- Bake ham for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting every 20-30 minutes with the remaining glaze and pan juices.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Continue baking for 15-20 minutes, basting once more, until glaze is caramelized and ham is heated through (internal temperature 140°F).
- Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
Tips
- For extra caramelization, broil the ham for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
- Leftover ham can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for 2 months.
- Serve with the pan juices as a sauce, or thicken with a cornstarch slurry.
