Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Score the surface of the 5 lbs fully cooked bone-in ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
Step 3: Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan and brush generously with half of the glaze. Tent loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Step 4: Remove foil, baste with remaining glaze, and continue baking uncovered for 30-40 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until the glaze is caramelized and the ham is heated through.
