Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pounds bone-in ham
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon cloves, ground
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 0.25 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Use a sharp knife to score the skin and fat of the ham in a diamond pattern.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, unsweetened apple juice, low-sodium soy sauce, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, liquid stevia, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Pour about half of the glaze over the ham, using a basting brush to ensure the glaze covers the entire surface of the ham. Reserve the remaining glaze for later use.
Cover the ham loosely with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove the ham from the oven and remove the foil. Pour the remaining glaze over the ham and return it to the oven.
Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking the ham for another 1 hour, basting it with its own juices and any remaining glaze every 20 minutes.
Once the cooking time is up, the ham should have a caramelized glaze. If not, allow it to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until it reaches the desired color.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve the ham slices warm with your favorite sides.
