- 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Remove the skin and excess fat from the ham and score the surface in a diamond pattern.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover loosely with foil.
- Bake for 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
- While the ham bakes, whisk together honey, both mustards, brown sugar, paprika, and ground cloves to create the glaze.
- Remove the ham from the oven, uncover, and brush generously with the glaze.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the glaze is caramelized and the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
