Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). This temperature is ideal for slowly baking the ham to ensure it stays juicy.

Prepare the Ham
Remove the ham from its packaging and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep. This allows the glaze to penetrate the meat.

Make the Glaze
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. This will be your glaze.
