Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut too deeply.
Insert one whole clove into the center of each diamond on the surface of the ham.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to create a glaze.
Using a brush, generously coat the ham with half of the honey mustard glaze, making sure to cover all scored areas.
Pour the low-sodium broth into the bottom of the roasting pan around the ham to keep it moist during cooking.
Cover the ham loosely with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Roast the ham for about 1.5 hours, basting it every 30 minutes with the remaining glaze.
Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the top to caramelize.
Once the internal temperature of the ham reaches 60°C (140°F), remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the ham warm with your favorite sides.
