Grandma's Old-Fashioned Glazed Ham

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8-10 pound fully cooked bone-in ham
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Whole cloves for studding optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Remove ham from packaging and place in a large roasting pan, flat side down.
  2. Score the ham in a diamond pattern, cutting about 1/4 inch deep. If desired, stud with whole cloves at the intersections.
  3. Heat brown sugar, honey, Dijon, pineapple juice, vinegar, and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and glaze is smooth.
  4. Brush half of the glaze generously over the ham. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake for 2 hours, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes.
  6. Remove foil and brush with remaining glaze. Increase oven temperature to 400°F and bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, until glaze is caramelized and golden brown.
  7. Let ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
