Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Score the ham in a diamond pattern and stud with cloves.
Mix honey, brown sugar, mustard, and pineapple juice to make the glaze.
Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush generously with glaze.
Cover loosely with foil and bake 15 minutes per pound, basting every 30 minutes.
Remove foil for the last 30 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Let rest 15 minutes before carving. Mom's note: Save the bone for soup.

Recommended Tools & Appliances
Roasting Pan
A sturdy roasting pan with a rack is essential for keeping the ham elevated to ensure even heat circulation and better glaze caramelization.
Pastry Brush
A high-quality silicone pastry brush allows for easy and even distribution of the sticky honey glaze across all surfaces and into the diamond cuts of the ham.
Meat Thermometer
An instant-read meat thermometer is critical for monitoring the internal temperature to ensure the ham is heated perfectly without drying it out.
Whisk
A wire whisk helps efficiently emulsify the honey, mustard, and pineapple juice into a smooth, consistent glaze that adheres well to the meat.
