Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Prepare Ham
Place the bone-in ham on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep.
- 3
Make the Glaze
In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, and pineapple juice. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Cooking
- 4
Apply Glaze
Brush half of the glaze over the scored surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.

Roast Ham
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast the ham for about 20 minutes per kg, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.

Check Temperature
Cook until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C). This should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours for a 1 kg ham.

Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, during the last 30 minutes of cooking, add maraschino cherries and pineapple rings to the top of the ham for extra flavor and decoration.

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