Ingredients:
1 bone-in ham (about 5-7 pounds)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Prepare the Ham: Place the ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. If it has a rind, you can leave it on or remove it as per your preference. Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making cuts about 1/4 inch deep.
Prepare the Glaze: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, pineapple juice, orange juice, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze is smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Glaze the Ham: Pour about half of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored cuts. Reserve the other half of the glaze for basting during cooking.
Bake: Cover the ham with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Baste the ham with the remaining glaze every 20-30 minutes during cooking.
Finish and Serve: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the ham moist. Carve and serve as desired.
