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.
