This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic glazed ham, featuring a tangy and sweet citrus-honey mustard glaze.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it with aluminum foil.
Covering the ham helps retain moisture during the initial baking.
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
Check the ham occasionally to ensure it is cooking evenly.
While the ham is baking, combine the brown sugar, honey, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves in a saucepan.
Stirring the ingredients thoroughly ensures a smooth glaze.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
After 2 hours of baking, remove the foil from the ham and brush it generously with the glaze.
Applying the glaze in layers creates a rich and flavorful coating.
Continue baking the ham uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes.
Frequent basting ensures the glaze caramelizes evenly.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the ham moist.
