Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2
Cut shallow crisscross lines across the ham. Push whole cloves into the cuts if using.
3
Place the ham in a roasting pan. Cover it loosely with foil.
4
Bake for 1 hour.
5
Whisk the maple syrup, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, and ground cloves in a saucepan. Warm gently.
6
Take the foil off the ham. Brush generously with the glaze.
7
Roast uncovered for about 30 more minutes. Brush with glaze every 20 minutes until the center reaches 140°F.
8
Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the remaining glaze.

Chef's tips

Spoon glaze over the ham every 20 minutes to build a shiny, caramelized coating without burning the sugar.

Storage

Refrigerate sliced ham up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Reheating

Reheat slices covered in a low oven with a splash of the reserved glaze to keep them moist.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Adding the glaze too early, which burns the sugars before the ham is fully heated.
•Skipping the cuts on the surface, which keeps the glaze from soaking in.
