Ingredients

• 8 pounds unsliced bone-in ham
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 0.5 cup dark rum
• 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 20 pieces whole cloves (optional, for garnish)
• 6 slices orange slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Place the ham fat-side up in a large roasting pan and use a sharp knife to score the surface in a criss-cross diamond pattern, cutting about 1/4 inch deep.

Step 3

If desired, insert a whole clove into the center of each diamond shape for garnishing purposes.

Step 4

Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake the ham for 1 hour and 30 minutes (18 minutes per pound) until heated through. Remove it from the oven.

Step 5

While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze by combining the brown sugar, rum, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves in a medium saucepan.

Step 6

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

After 1 hour and 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil from the ham and brush generously with the prepared glaze.

Step 8

Return the ham to the oven and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes, basting with additional glaze every 10 minutes. The edges of the ham should caramelize to a beautiful golden brown.

Step 9

Check the internal temperature of the ham with a meat thermometer. It should register at least 140°F (60°C).

Step 10

Once fully cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish the ham with orange slices around the base for presentation.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Rum Mustard Glazed Ham with your favorite side dishes!
