Ingredients

• 1 fully-cooked bone-in ham (10-12 pounds)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Score the surface of the ham by making shallow cuts in a diamond pattern.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and ground cloves to make the glaze.
4. Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan, with the scored side facing up.
5. Brush the glaze over the entire surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored cuts.
6. Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Baste the ham with the glaze every 30 minutes.
7. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize.
8. Once done, transfer the ham to a cutting board and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
