Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked bone-in ham about 8-10 pounds
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife.
  • Place whole cloves in the center of each diamond for flavor.
  • In a bowl, mix brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, cinnamon, and black pepper to form a glaze.
  • Brush the glaze evenly over the ham.

  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
