Instructions

1. Prepare the Ham

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan or baking dish.

3. Score the fat in a diamond pattern (optional but helps glaze soak in).

4. Stud with whole cloves if using.

2. Make the Glaze

1. Combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, vinegar (or orange juice), butter, cinnamon, and ground cloves in a saucepan.

2. Heat over medium until smooth, melted, and slightly thickened (5 minutes).

3. Remove from heat.

3. Bake

1. Brush ham generously with the glaze.

2. Cover ham loosely with foil and bake 1 hour.

3. Remove foil, baste with more glaze, and bake another 30–60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.

4. Bake until ham is heated through (internal temp about 140°F / 60°C) and glaze is caramelized.

4. Rest and Serve

Let ham rest 10–15 minutes before carving so the juices settle.

Tips for Extra Amazing Results

• Add pineapple rings during the last 30 minutes for a classic sweet finish.

• Broil for the last 3–4 minutes to deepen caramelization—watch closely!

• Save pan drippings to drizzle over slices or add to gravy.
