Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Ham
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Rinse the country ham under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2
Score the Ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze to penetrate the meat.

Make the Glaze
In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, mustard, black pepper, and cloves until well combined.
- 4
Apply the Glaze
Spread half of the glaze mixture over the scored surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.
- 5
Add Water
Place the ham in a roasting pan and pour the water around it to keep the meat moist during cooking.

Check for Doneness
The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).

Rest and Serve
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
