Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the 6-pound fully cooked bone-in ham flat side down in a roasting pan.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves until smooth and glossy.
- Step 3: Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep to help the glaze penetrate.
- Step 4: Brush half of the honey glaze evenly over the ham, then tent loosely with aluminum foil.
- Step 5: Roast the ham for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the remaining glaze, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes to allow caramelization.
- Step 6: After roasting, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
