Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, cloves, pineapple juice, and water. Mix until well blended to create a glaze.

  3. 3

    Score the Ham

    Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the Hormel CURE 81® ham in a diamond pattern. This helps the glaze to penetrate and adds to the presentation.

  4. 4

    Apply the Glaze

    Place the ham in a roasting pan. Brush half of the glaze over the surface of the ham, making sure to get it into the scored areas.

  5. 5

    Roast the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Remove the foil halfway through cooking.

  6. 6

    Final Glaze

    During the last 30 minutes of roasting, brush the remaining glaze over the ham to create a caramelized crust.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

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