Ingredients

• 4 pounds Low fat cooked ham
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Place the low fat cooked ham on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up. Score the surface of the ham with shallow, diagonal cuts using a sharp knife to create a diamond pattern.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, ground cloves, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Brush the prepared glaze generously over the entire surface of the ham.

Step 5

Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.

Step 7

Baste the ham every 15 minutes with the glaze that collects in the pan.

Step 8

Check the internal temperature of the ham with a meat thermometer; it should reach at least 140°F (60°C) for safe consumption.

Step 9

Allow the ham to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving, which helps to retain the juices.

Step 10

Serve the ham slices with additional glaze, if desired, and enjoy!
