Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the ham in a roasting pan.
- 2
Press the cloves into the ham, if you are using them.
- 3
Whisk the Vernors, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard together to make the glaze.
- 4
Pour half of the glaze over the ham. Cover the pan loosely with foil.
- 5
Bake for about 1.5 hours until warmed through, spooning juices over the ham every 20 minutes.
- 6
Remove the foil for the last 20 minutes. Brush with the remaining glaze so it browns nicely.
- 7
Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with orange slices.
Chef's tips
Spoon the pan juices over the ham often to build a thick, sticky glaze. Do not skip baking it uncovered at the end so it browns well. Check that fully precooked ham reaches 140°F with a meat thermometer.
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days.
Reheating
Reheat slices gently covered in a 300°F oven with a spoonful of pan juices.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Not spooning the pan juices over the ham often enough, leaving a thin glaze.
- •Baking a fully precooked ham for too long, which dries the meat out.
