Ingredients

• 8 pounds bone-in fully cooked ham
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar substitute (such as Swerve)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Place the ham in a large roasting pan lined with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze to permeate the meat and create a beautiful crust.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 5

Add the brown sugar substitute, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and minced garlic to the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Brush the glaze generously over the entire ham, making sure to work it into the scored cuts in the meat.

Step 8

Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake the ham for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches about 140°F (60°C).

Step 10

Baste the ham with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 11

For a caramelized finish, remove the foil during the last 20 minutes and apply another layer of glaze.

Step 12

Once cooked, let the ham rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly glazed ham.
