Preparation

Prepare the Ham
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Trim any excess fat from the country ham and score the surface in a diamond pattern for better flavor absorption.

Make the Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, ground cloves, and garlic powder. Mix well until you have a smooth glaze.

Roast the Ham
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.

Finish and Serve
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of roasting to allow the ham to develop a nice caramelized crust. Once the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
