Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Rinse the country ham under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Score the Ham

    Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze to penetrate the meat.

  3. 3

    Make the Glaze

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and cloves. Mix well to form a glaze.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Ham

    Place the ham in a roasting pan and pour the water around the ham. Brush the glaze generously over the scored surface of the ham.

  5. 5

    Roast the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the foil in the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize. Once done, let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
