Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ham
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the bone-in ham in a roasting pan, fat side up, and score the surface with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern.
Making the Glaze
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and optional ingredients if using (pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger). Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- 3
Add Cloves
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the whole cloves to the glaze mixture, stirring to combine.
Baking the Ham
- 4
Glaze the Ham
Brush half of the glaze mixture over the scored surface of the ham, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
- 5
Bake
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour per kg (approximately 1.5 hours for a 1.5 kg ham), basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.

Finish Baking
Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the ham to caramelize and brown.

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
