Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Fully Cooked Bone-In Ham, 8-10 lbs
  • Unrefined Brown Sugar, 1 cup
  • Dijon or Whole Grain Mustard, 1/2 cup
  • Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tablespoons
  • Ground Cloves, 1/4 teaspoo
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Place the ham on a rack inside your roasting pan with the flat side down.
  3. Add about half a cup of water or apple juice to the bottom of the pan.
  4. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake the ham for approximately 15 minutes per pound.
  6. While the ham bakes, combine the brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, and cloves in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until smooth.
  7. About 30 minutes before cooking time ends, remove the ham from the oven and take off the foil.
  8. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Brush the prepared glaze over the ham and return it to the oven uncovered.
  10. Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, basting halfway through.
  11. Remove from the oven when the glaze is dark golden and bubbly.
  12. Allow the ham to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.

Notes

For a moist ham, cover with foil during initial cooking and allow it to rest after baking. Scoring the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern helps the glaze penetrate.
