Ingredients

• 8 pounds Bone-in spiral-cut ham
• 1 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 15 units Whole cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Remove the ham from its packaging and discard any plastic or netting. Place it flat-side down in a large roasting pan lined with foil for easier cleanup.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and ginger. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the glaze is well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern by making shallow cuts about an inch apart. Insert a clove into the center of each diamond.

Step 5

Brush the prepared glaze over the ham, ensuring that it covers all exposed surfaces.

Step 6

Tent the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake for 90 minutes, basting the ham with the pan juices every 30 minutes.

Step 8

After 90 minutes, remove the foil from the ham, and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Continue to bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, brushing the ham with more glaze every 10 minutes, until the glaze is caramelized and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Step 11

Serve the honey roast ham warm, and enjoy its savory sweetness with your favorite sides.
