1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2
Prepare the Ham
Place the bone-in ham on a large roasting rack in a roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep.
3
Insert Cloves
Insert whole cloves into the intersections of the diamond pattern.

4
Make the Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard. If using optional ingredients, add orange juice, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger to the mixture.
5
Apply the Glaze
Brush the glaze over the surface of the ham, ensuring it is evenly coated.

6
Cook the Ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
7
Baste the Ham
Every 30 minutes, baste the ham with the pan juices and additional glaze. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize.

8
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, let the ham rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
