Ingredients
- 4-pound bone-in fully cooked ham,
- Half cup pineapple juice
- Half cup water
- one teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Half cup unsalted butter
- Half cup brown sugar
- 3 to 4 ground cloves
- Half cup maple syrup
- one tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Two cloves smashed garlic cloves
Method to Prepare
- Begin your preparation by preheating the oven at 300°F and arranging a rack in the lower third. Remove plastic packaging from the ham.
- Trim away the rind from the ham and set it aside to rest at room temperature for a couple of hours.
- Meanwhile, line a baking tray with several sheets of parchment paper for easy cleaning.
- Now, remove the skin of the ham without trimming the fat. Use a sharp knife and score a diamond pattern over the entire ham.
- Then, place the ham in the baking tray and pour some pine juice and water into the base of the pan.
- Cover the ham with two pieces of parchment paper and bake for half an hour.
- While your ham is in the oven, heat butter in a small-sized saucepan over medium flame until it is golden.
- Then, throw brown sugar, maple syrup, mustard, cinnamon, and cloves into the melted butter.
- Give it a good stir and mix until the brown sugar is completely dissolved, for about 2 minutes.
- Decrease the flame to low and garlic. Bring it to a simmer, and then set it aside to let it cool down to lukewarm.
- Remove the ham from the oven after 15 minutes. Meanwhile, increase the temperature to 425°F.
- Uncover the ham and pour ⅓ of the prepared glaze all over the ham. Ensure that you brush the glaze between the cuts too.
- Then, slide the ham back into the oven and bake it uncovered for another 15 minutes.
- Once it is done, remove it from the oven, brush with the remaining glaze and some pan juices.
- Slide it back again in the oven for another 15 minutes, baking it until a dark golden-brown crust has formed.
- Remove it from the oven after 15 minutes and let it rest for around 20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice them and enjoy this delicious recipe!
