Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Score the surface of the 7-pound bone-in ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup honey, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup water until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Place the ham in a roasting pan and tuck 4 fresh thyme sprigs around the ham.
  4. Step 4: Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the ham, making sure to coat all scored areas.
  5. Step 5: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, basting with extra glaze every 30 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize, then rest the ham for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
