Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1.25 cups packed dark brown sugar
• 0.333 cup pineapple juice
• 0.333 cup honey, or more to taste
• 0.333 large orange
• 1.5 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

While the ham is baking, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, and 1/3 cup honey in a saucepan. Zest orange into the saucepan, then squeeze in the juice. Add Dijon mustard and ground cloves; whisk mixture over medium-high heat as it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until glaze thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Taste glaze and adjust seasonings. Add lemon juice for more tang, or honey to make it sweeter. Set aside.

Step 3

Remove ham from the oven after it has baked for 2 hours. Brush with glaze. Bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 10 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan.

Step 5

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
