Equipment
- Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
- 10 pound fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Place the ham in a roasting pan, cut side down.
- Combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, melted butter, mustard, garlic, and ground cloves. Stir until combined.
- Brush the ham generously with the glaze, covering the entire surface. Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking, covering the ham in additional glaze. Bake until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- I like to dry the surface of the ham with paper towels before I add the glaze so that it doesn't slide off.
- To get a nice juicy ham, it's helpful to allow the ham to come to room temperature before placing it in the oven.
- If you are using uncut ham, I recommend scoring the ham in a diamond pattern before you glaze it so the glaze can soak into the ham and give it a great flavor.
- Keep in mind that large or smaller ham will change the cooking time. I recommend cooking for at least 15 minutes per pound.
