Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the 8-pound fully cooked bone-in ham on a rack in a roasting pan.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and glaze is smooth and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Brush a generous layer of the glaze over the ham, making sure to cover all exposed surfaces.
  4. Step 4: Roast the ham uncovered for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized and the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  5. Step 5: Remove the ham from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
