Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern and place it in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Make the Glaze

    In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Apply the Glaze

    Spread the glaze evenly over the scored surface of the ham. Insert cloves into the intersections of the score marks.

  4. 4

    Roast the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices.

  5. 5

    Finish Roasting

    Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize. The ham is done when a meat thermometer reads 70°C (160°F).

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a side dish or on its own.
