Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Glaze
Combine honey, brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar and ground cloves.
Stir until smooth.
Tip: Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth in the glaze.
Score and Glaze the Ham
Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern.
Brush half of the glaze mixture over the ham, to get it into the scored lines.
Tip: Scoring helps the glaze penetrate deeper for more flavor.
Roast the Ham
Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 1 ½ hours.
Tip: Basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices enhances the flavor.
Finish with More Glaze
Remove the foil, brush the remaining glaze over the ham and continue roasting for another 30 minutes until the ham is caramelized and heated.
Tip: For a beautiful finish, broil the ham for 3-5 minutes after glazing.
