Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Score the surface of the 6-pound bone-in smoked ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep to allow the glaze to penetrate.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves until smooth and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Place the ham on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan and brush generously with half of the maple-mustard glaze.
  4. Step 4: Bake the ham uncovered for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F and the surface is caramelized and glossy.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
