Ingredients You'll Need

To prepare this delightful dish, you'll need the following ingredients:

• A fully cooked ham

• Orange marmalade

• Honey

• Dijon mustard

• Ground cloves

• Orange juice

  
  

Preparation Steps

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to the temperature specified in your ham's cooking instructions.

   
   

2. Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the orange marmalade, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Mix them until smooth.

   
   

3. Score the Ham: If your ham isn't pre-scored, take a sharp knife and make shallow cuts in a diamond pattern across the surface. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham.

   
   

4. Apply the Glaze: Spread half of the glaze over the ham, ensuring you cover it evenly. Reserve the other half for later.

   
   

5. Bake the Ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it loosely with foil. Bake for the recommended time, usually around 10-12 minutes per pound.

   
   

6. Add More Glaze: About 30 minutes before the ham is done, remove the foil and brush on the remaining glaze. This will give it a beautiful caramelized finish.

   
   

7. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.

   
   

8. Let It Rest: Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven. Allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.
