Ingredients
- 5 pounds Bone-in ham
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free honey substitute
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
Place the ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan to keep the ham moist during roasting.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar-free honey substitute, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Stir the glaze mixture continuously until everything is well combined and heated through. Do not let it boil.
Step 5
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern by making shallow cuts about 1/4 inch deep.
Step 6
Brush half of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it gets into the scores.
Step 7
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.
Step 8
Roast the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Step 9
Remove the foil and brush with the remaining glaze.
Step 10
Continue roasting for another 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the juices from the pan.
Step 11
After a total of 2 hours, if the glaze is not caramelized to your liking, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for an additional 10 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Step 12
Remove the ham from the oven and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
