Equipment
- Roasting pan
- Aluminum foil
- Meat Thermometer
- Basting Brush
Ingredients
- 1 bone-in fully cooked ham, about 8 pounds
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
- Place the ham in the roasting pan and bake for about an hour and a half.
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Simmer over low heat until it thickens into a glaze.
- Brush the glaze over the ham and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes until it's golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Let the ham rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Baste the ham frequently to ensure it stays moist and absorbs the honey glaze’s flavors. Also, letting the ham rest before slicing helps retain the juices.
