Score the Ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This allows the glaze to penetrate and flavor the meat.
Making the Glaze

Combine Glaze Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and ground cloves. Mix well.

Heat the Glaze
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze is smooth.

Brush the Ham
Using a basting brush, generously brush the glaze all over the scored surface of the ham.
Baking the Ham
- 7
Bake the Ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Baste the Ham
After 1 hour, remove the foil and baste the ham with more glaze. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, uncovered.

Check for Doneness
The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check.
Serving

Let it Rest
Once removed from the oven, let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
