Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the 7-pound spiral-cut fully cooked ham flat side down on a large roasting pan lined with foil.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/3 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground cloves until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Brush the ham generously with half of the honey mustard glaze, making sure to coat between the slices.
  4. Step 4: Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with the remaining glaze to create a sticky, caramelized coating.
  5. Step 5: Remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to thicken and edges to brown. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
