Whole Spiral Cut Bone-in Ham Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

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, making cuts about 1 inch apart and about 1/4 inch deep.

Make the Glaze

In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, and water until well combined.

Bake the Ham

Place the scored ham in a roasting pan, cut side up. Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the top and sides of the ham, reserving some glaze for later.

Cover and Cook

Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

Glaze Again

Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize. Brush the reserved glaze over the ham every 10 minutes.

Rest and Serve

Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
