Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Soak the country ham in cold water for 24 hours to remove excess salt.

  2. 2

    Make the Glaze

    In a large pot, combine water, brown sugar, honey, black pepper, cloves, mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Bake the Ham

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the soaked ham in a roasting pan and brush with the glaze. Cover with foil and bake for 1.5 hours.

  4. 4

    Glaze Again

    Remove the foil, baste with more glaze, and continue to bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and caramelized.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
