Equipment

  • 1 (8–10 lb) bone-in ham (pre-cooked)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice or orange juice Whole clovesc

Notes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in a diamond pattern across the surface.
  3. Add cloves: If using, insert whole cloves into the intersections of the cuts.
  4. Place in a roasting pan: Put the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan with a rack. Add a bit of water or juice to the bottom to keep it moist.
  5. Cover loosely with foil to trap in moisture.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes per pound (if pre-cooked). For a 10-pound ham, that’s about 2 to 2.5 hours.
  7. Make the glaze: While the ham bakes, combine brown sugar, mustard, and juice in a saucepan. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  8. Glaze the ham: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and brush the glaze over the ham. Repeat every 10 minutes.
  9. Check the temp: Once the internal temperature hits 140°F, remove the ham from the oven.
  10. Let it rest: Tent with foil and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
