Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ham

    Place the bone-in ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making shallow cuts.

Glaze Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Glaze

    In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, and black pepper. Mix well and add water to create a smooth glaze.

  2. 4

    Heat the Glaze

    Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Baking the Ham

  1. 5

    Glaze the Ham

    Brush the glaze generously over the scored surface of the ham.

  2. 6

    Bake the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake it in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.

  3. 7

    Remove Foil

    In the last 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil to allow the glaze to caramelize.

Serving

  1. 8

    Rest and Serve

    Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and pineapple slices, if desired.
