Servings:

Ingredients

1 cup honey
1/3 cup butter
3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard (high quality)
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 cup whole cloves
1 ham of choice

Directions

PREP

30 mins

COOK

2 hrs

READY IN

3 hrs

Score ham with a sharp knife in a diagonal pattern. Repeat scoring, diagonally, in the opposite direction to create a crossing pattern. Insert whole cloves at the crossings.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place ham in roasting pan fat side up; the melting fat will baste your ham. Turn ham over half way through baking to avoid uneven salting from the brine in the meat. If roasting a ham that is not precooked, bake for approximately 20-30 minutes per pound. If the ham is precooked, follow the label directions for cooking times.
While ham is roasting, combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium heat and bring to a full boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and cook one minute.
Remove ham from oven prior to the last 30 minutes of baking. Cover ham with glaze. Glaze ham every 10 minutes during last 30 minutes of baking.
Serve remaining glaze with ham.

Tip: Baste ham with pan drippings while glazing.

"I loved the glaze on this ham. Wish I would have make extra for serving. I left the cloves off because we are not big fans of the flavor they give to ham."
