Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pounds Bone-in ham
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free honey substitute
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. If it has a plastic disk on the bone, remove it.
In a small saucepan, mix the sugar-free honey substitute, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar substitute, ground cloves, and black pepper. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making shallow cuts about 1/4 inch deep.
Brush half of the honey mixture over the ham's surface.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent drying, and place it in the oven.
Bake the ham for about 1 hour.
Remove the foil, brush the remaining honey mixture over the ham, and continue to bake for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 140°F (60°C) in the thickest part of the ham.
Every 20 minutes during the final hour of cooking, baste the ham with the pan drippings to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
