1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2
Prepare the Ham
Place the bone-in ham on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
3
Score the Surface
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making shallow cuts. This helps the glaze to penetrate the meat.
4
Insert Cloves
Insert whole cloves into the intersections of the diamond cuts for added flavor.

5
Combine Glaze Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and optional pineapple juice, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger until well combined.
6
Apply the Glaze
Brush the glaze generously over the scored surface of the ham, ensuring to cover all areas.

7
Roasting Time
Place the ham in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-18 minutes per pound (approximately 1-1.5 hours for a 1 kg ham).
8
Baste the Ham
Every 30 minutes, baste the ham with additional glaze to keep it moist and flavorful.

9
Check Internal Temperature
Using a meat thermometer, check that the internal temperature of the ham reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
10
Rest the Ham
Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
