ingredients
- 1 (8-10 lb) bone-in fully cooked ham
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- 2.
Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.
- 3.
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, ground cloves, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- 4.
Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, cutting just into the fat but not deep into the meat.
- 5.
Brush a generous layer of the honey mustard glaze over the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored cuts for maximum flavor.
- 6.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the remaining glaze.
- 7.
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and create a beautiful crust.
- 8.
Once the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- 9.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
