  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 (8-10 pound) fully cooked bone-in ham
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Whole cloves (for decoration, optional)


Instructions

Creating a mouthwatering glazed ham is straightforward. Follow these steps for success:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Ham: Remove the ham from its packaging and place it on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
3. Score the Ham: Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern to allow the glaze to penetrate.
4. Make the Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, black pepper, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
5. Glaze the Ham: Brush half of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored areas.
6. Bake the Ham: Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 hour.
7. Apply Additional Glaze: After 1 hour, remove the foil and brush the remaining glaze over the ham. Return it to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes.
8. Check for Doneness: The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
9. Rest the Ham: Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Slice the ham and arrange it on a serving platter. You can garnish with whole cloves or fresh herbs for added flair.

These easy steps will guide you in creating a spectacular glazed ham that will be the highlight of your meal.
