Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place 5 lbs bone-in ham cut-side down in a roasting pan, adding 1 cup water to the bottom. Cover loosely with foil.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp apricot preserves, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 tsp ground cloves until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Bake ham covered for 1 hour, then remove foil and brush with 1/3 of the glaze. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze every 10 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the ham reaches 140°F (60°C).
