Ingredients
- 1 ham
- 1 c. brown sugar
- ¼ c. honey
- 2 tsp. dry mustard
- 15 or more cloves
- A roasting pan
- Sauce pan
- A sauce pan
- 1 tsp. cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Determine if the ham is precooked or partially cooked and let it warm to room temperature before cooking. If it has been cooked at all, allow ten minutes per pound; if uncooked, allow twenty minutes per pound.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the ham on the roasting pan with the fat side up and set it on a middle rack in the oven. Bake the ham unglazed until one hour before it’s done.
Step 3
Prepare the ham for glazing by cutting 1-inch deep lines in diamond shapes on the outside of the ham.
Step 4
Combine the brown sugar, honey, and mustard in the saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the ingredients are warm and well-mixed. Tips: Add a teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken the glaze and stir in well over the heat.
Step 5
Apply the glaze by spreading it evenly over the ham. Stick the cloves all over the ham for added flavor. Tips: Arrange the cloves in the centers of the diamonds for a decorative look.
Step 6
Bake the ham for the remaining hour. Take it out of the oven, let it rest for fifteen minutes, carve, serve, and enjoy.
