Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 kg bone-in ham
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cups water
- 15 count whole cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making shallow cuts about 1-2 cm deep. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat.
Insert the whole cloves into the intersections of the scored diamond pattern on the ham.
Place the ham, cut side down, in a large roasting pan. Add 4 cups of water to the pan to keep the ham moist during cooking.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake the ham in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat, then stir in the butter until melted.
After 2 hours of baking, remove the ham from the oven and carefully discard the aluminum foil. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F).
Brush a generous layer of the maple syrup glaze over the ham, ensuring all areas are coated evenly.
Return the ham to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 45 minutes, basting with more glaze every 15 minutes.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Serve the ham warm, and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the roasting pan for extra flavor!
