1bone-in spiral-cut ham8 to 9 pounds (fully cooked)
1/2cupwater
3/4cuppacked light brown sugar
1/3cuphoney
2tablespoonsDijon mustard
1tablespoonapple cider vinegar
1/2teaspoonground cinnamon
1/4teaspoonground cloves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F and set the ham cut side down in a roasting pan. Pour the water into the bottom of the pan.
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, about 15 minutes per pound, until a thermometer inserted near the center reads 120°F.
Combine the brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon and cloves in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the glaze coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the foil and brush half the glaze over the ham, working it between the spiral slices.
Increase the oven to 400°F and bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze every 5 to 7 minutes, until deeply caramelized and the thermometer reads 140°F.
Rest, loosely tented with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing along the pre-cut lines.
Good to Know
Glaze can be made up to 3 days ahead and reheated gently; a cold ham just needs an extra 10 minutes under foil.
