Preparation Instructions

Prepare the Ham
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Place the bone-in ham in a roasting pan, flat side down.
- 2
Make the Glaze
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Mix well to form a glaze.
- 3
Apply the Glaze
Brush the glaze generously over the surface of the ham, ensuring it covers all visible areas.
- 4
Add Water
Pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the ham moist during cooking.
- 5
Bake the Ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
- 6
Finish Baking
Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize.

Slice and Serve
Once the ham is heated through and caramelized, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
