Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Score the surface of the 7 lb bone-in smoked ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep. Stud with 20 whole cloves evenly spaced.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp ground black pepper until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan and brush half of the honey-mustard glaze all over the ham.
  4. Step 4: Roast the ham uncovered for 1.5 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes until the surface is caramelized and internal temperature reaches 140°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing to serve.
