Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 lbs bone-in fully cooked ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp ground cloves
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack inside the pan.
Score the surface of the ham by cutting shallow, crisscross diagonal lines across the ham's surface. This helps the glaze penetrate better.
Place the ham cut side down on the roasting rack.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and water to make the glaze. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat.
Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham, making sure to get it into the scored sections.
Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or approximately 18 minutes per pound of ham.
Remove the foil and brush another layer of glaze onto the ham. Continue baking for another 30 minutes, basting with glaze every 10 minutes for an evenly caramelized finish.
Once the ham's internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve sliced and enjoy!
