Ingredients
- 1 kg ham (uncooked)
- 4 cloves
- ½ tablespoon mustard (dijon or English)
- 50 g honey
- 1 tablespoon soft dark brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C) and place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, or if you have a smaller ham, you can use a baking dish.
- Remove the ham from the packaging and bring it to room temperature for about an hour before cooking.
- Score the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut too deep.
- Make a few cuts in the ham, and then insert some cloves. This will infuse it with a delightful aroma.
- Place the ham in the prepared roasting pan or baking dish, and cover it with foil.
- Bake the ham for about 15-18 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- While the ham is cooking, prepare the honey glaze by mixing together honey, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
- About 30 minutes before the ham is done, remove it from the oven and brush the honey glaze all over the ham.
- Return the ham to the oven and continue baking, uncovered, for the remaining time until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Once the ham is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
- Select a good quality ham that has an even layer of fat.
- Remove the ham from the packaging and bring it to room temperature for about an hour before cooking.
- To help the glaze penetrate the ham, make shallow cuts (scoring) on the surface in a crisscross pattern.
- To ensure your ham is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. It should reach an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
- Let the baked ham rest for about 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to be redistributed, resulting in a juicier ham.
