Method

Preparation of Braised Ham

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern and stud it with whole cloves.

  2. 2

    Mix the Braising Liquid

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, apple cider vinegar, black peppercorns, and water. Stir until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Braise the Ham

    Place the ham in a roasting pan and pour the braising liquid over it. Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

  4. 4

    Glaze the Ham

    Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the ham to caramelize. Baste with the juices every 10 minutes.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Plate

    While the ham is resting, grill the bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Serve the Dish

    Slice the braised ham and serve it on a plate with grilled bread, a dollop of whole grain mustard, and a side of mixed greens.
