Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Place ham cut-side down in a roasting pan and score the fat in a diamond pattern, making 1/4-inch deep cuts.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 tsp ground cloves in a small bowl. Pour half the mixture over the ham, rubbing it into the scored cuts.
  3. Step 3: Add 1/2 cup water to the pan, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour 45 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140°F.
  4. Step 4: Uncover, brush with remaining glaze, and bake for 15 minutes until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes slightly.
