How to Make Baked Ham With Brown Sugar Orange Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
  3. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham, ensuring it doesn't touch bone.
  4. Bake uncovered for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the thermometer reads 135°F to 140°F (57°C to 60°C).
  5. While the ham bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves.
  6. During the last 45 minutes of baking, brush the glaze over the ham every 15 minutes, allowing it to caramelize.
  7. Remove the ham from the oven.
  8. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
