Prepare the Glaze
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and whole cloves to create the glaze.
- 3
Glaze the Ham
Spread the glaze evenly over the scored surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.
- 4
Add Water
Pour the water into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the ham moist during cooking.

Bake the Ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

Caramelize the Glaze
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize, basting every 10 minutes.

Rest and Serve
Once done, remove the ham from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
