Ingredients

- 200 g brown sugar
- 10 cloves
- 4.5 kg ham
- 180 ml honey
- 60 ml mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Step 2
Place the ham in a large roasting pan and score the surface in a diamond pattern, making shallow cuts about 1/2 inch apart.
Step 3
Insert the cloves into the cuts on the surface of the ham.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Step 5
Brush the glaze mixture over the entire surface of the ham.
Step 6
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
Step 7
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and the ham to brown.
Step 8
Once the ham is cooked through and nicely browned, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious baked ham.
