  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

    Make sure the rack is in the center position.
  2. Prepare the Ham

    Place the ham in a roasting pan, fat side up.

    Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern.
  3. Make the Glaze

    In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and black pepper.

    Heat on medium until sugar dissolves.
  4. Apply the Glaze

    Brush the glaze over the ham evenly.

    Reserve some glaze for basting later.
  5. Bake the Ham

    Bake the ham for about 15-18 minutes per pound, basting every 30 minutes.

    Cover loosely with foil if it browns too quickly.
  6. Check for Doneness

    Remove the ham from the oven once done.
  7. Serve

    Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

    Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
