Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) if you’re glazing a pre-cooked ham.
-
Prepare the Glaze
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cloves, cinnamon, and black pepper.

Stir until sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened (about 3–5 minutes).
-
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Glaze the Ham
-
Place ham in a roasting pan. Brush a generous layer of the glaze over the surface.
-
Bake & Baste

Bake ham according to package directions (usually 15–18 minutes per pound for pre-cooked).
-
Every 20–30 minutes, brush additional glaze over the ham for a shiny, caramelized finish.
-
Finish & Serve
-
Let ham rest 10 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve with extra glaze on the side if desired.
