1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This will ensure that your ham cooks evenly.
2
Prepare the Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
3
Score the Ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and add flavor.

4
Apply the Glaze
Place the ham in a roasting pan and generously brush the glaze over the entire surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored cuts.
5
Bake the Ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 1.5 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
6
Remove Foil and Glaze Again
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and brush with additional glaze. This will caramelize the exterior and enhance the flavor.
7
Check for Doneness
The ham is done when the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.

8
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
9
Garnish and Serve
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside pineapple slices for a tropical touch.
