Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the smoked ham on a rack in a roasting pan, cut side down.

  2. 2

    Make the Glaze

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

  3. 3

    Apply the Glaze

    Brush the glaze generously over the surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored areas for better flavor.

  4. 4

    Bake the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). Allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
