Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pounds bone-in fully cooked ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 20 pieces whole cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Remove the ham from any packaging and place it in a large roasting pan, cut side down.
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep.
Insert a whole clove into each diamond intersection on the surface of the ham.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and pineapple juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the ingredients are well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
Let the glaze simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove it from heat.
Brush a generous amount of glaze over the entire surface of the scored ham.
Cover the roasting pan loosely with aluminum foil and place the ham in the preheated oven.
Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, basting with the glaze every 20-30 minutes.
Remove the foil for the last 20-30 minutes of cooking to allow the ham to caramelize.
Once the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C), remove it from the oven.
Allow the glazed ham to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy the flavorful, tender ham with your favorite side dishes.
