Ingredients
- 2 kilograms Ham
- 120 milliliters Honey
- 50 grams Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 20 pieces Whole cloves
- 250 milliliters Low-sodium broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Insert one whole clove into the center of each diamond on the surface of the ham.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to create a glaze.
Step 5
Using a brush, generously coat the ham with half of the honey mustard glaze, making sure to cover all scored areas.
Step 6
Pour the low-sodium broth into the bottom of the roasting pan around the ham to keep it moist during cooking.
Step 7
Cover the ham loosely with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Step 8
Roast the ham for about 1.5 hours, basting it every 30 minutes with the remaining glaze.
Step 9
Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the top to caramelize.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve the ham warm with your favorite sides.
