Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fully cooked beef ham (about 5–7 pounds)
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Take the fully cooked beef ham and place it in a roasting pan. If the ham has a tough outer rind, carefully score the surface in a diamond pattern.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
- Step 3: Using a basting brush, generously apply the glaze over the scored surface of the ham.
- Step 4: Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the remaining glaze.
- Step 5: Remove the foil about 30 minutes before the ham is done roasting to allow the glaze to caramelize further. Once finished, let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
