Baked Ham with Sweet Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 (8-10 pound) bone-in ham
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, mustard, and cloves. Rub the mixture all over the ham.
3. Place the ham in a baking dish and bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
4. Remove the ham from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
5. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the chicken broth, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
6. Once the gravy has thickened, reduce the heat to low and add the sliced ham to the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Serve the ham with the sweet gravy.
