Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (8-10 pounds) bone-in fully cooked ham

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper.
3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
4. Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush the raspberry glaze all over the surface of the ham, reserving some glaze for basting.
5. Cover the ham with foil and bake for 1 hour.
6. Remove the foil, brush the ham with additional glaze, and continue baking uncovered for another 30-45 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C).
7. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the ham with the remaining glaze on the side for dipping.
