Ingredients
- (1 8-10 pound ham) Ham, Bone-in & Cured
- (1/2 cup) water
- (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- (1 cup) Brown Sugar
- (1/2 cup) Honey
- (2 tablespoons) Dijon Mustard
- (1/4 tsp) Ground Cinnamon
- (1/4 tsp) Ground Cloves
- (4 cloves, smashed) Garlic
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place the ham on the sheet.
- Score the ham with a sharp knife, making a diamond pattern about 1-inch wide.
- Pour water into the baking sheet around the ham.
- Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake for about 4 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
- For the final 30 minutes of baking before the glaze, increase the oven temperature to 425°F.
- Prepare the glaze by heating the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it's golden brown. Add the brown sugar, honey, and ground cloves. Let them simmer for 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the minced garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over the ham, using a brush to spread it evenly.
- Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 30 minutes to set the glaze.
- Once done, let the ham rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

NOTES: Keep the juices/glaze to pour over your sliced ham. To reheat, pour the juices over your sliced ham and bake until warm.

Ham & Beans (save the ham hock for this). I love this recipe, but I sub my homemade chicken stock for the water to give it a richer flavor. Here is the recipe I use!
