Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Ham
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the whole ham on a rack in a roasting pan.

Create the Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper to create a glaze.
- 3
Score the Ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. Insert cloves into the intersections of the cuts.

Apply the Glaze
Brush the glaze generously over the ham, ensuring to get into the scored areas.
- 5
Roast the Ham
Pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan and cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

Final Glaze
During the last 30 minutes of roasting, remove the foil and apply additional glaze. Continue roasting uncovered until caramelized.

Rest and Serve
Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
