Ingredients
- 10 pounds Bone-in ham
- 0.5 cup Powdered Erythritol
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 2
Remove any packaging from the ham and place it on a cutting board. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut too deeply.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the powdered erythritol, sugar-free maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
Step 4
Add the butter to the saucepan and stir constantly until the mixture is melted and well combined.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the glaze to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze is thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan. Pour the cup of water into the bottom of the pan to prevent burning and to keep the ham moist.
Step 7
Brush the ham generously with the glaze, ensuring it gets into the scored areas. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Step 8
Roast the ham in the preheated oven for approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 140°F (60°C).
Step 9
Every 30 minutes, remove the foil, baste the ham with more glaze, and cover again. For the last 30 minutes of roasting, remove the foil to allow the glaze to caramelize and form a crust.
Step 10
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with any remaining glaze on the side.
