Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the 7 lbs bone-in ham in a large roasting pan fat side up.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Step 3: Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep to allow glaze penetration.
  4. Step 4: Brush half of the honey-mustard glaze over the ham evenly.
  5. Step 5: Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the ham moist while baking.
  6. Step 6: Bake uncovered for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F and the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
