Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the bone-in ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up.

  2. 2

    Mix the Glaze

    In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Mix well until a thick paste forms.

  3. 3

    Apply the Glaze

    Spread the glaze evenly over the surface of the ham, ensuring it covers the entire ham.

  4. 4

    Add Water

    Pour the water into the bottom of the roasting pan. This will help keep the ham moist during cooking.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Roast the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes per pound. For a 1 kg ham, this will take approximately 1.5 hours.

  2. 6

    Baste the Ham

    Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize. Baste the ham with the juices from the pan every 10-15 minutes.

  3. 7

    Check for Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).

Serving

  1. 8

    Rest the Ham

    Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.

  2. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, garnish with pineapple slices and maraschino cherries before serving. Slice and enjoy!
