How to Make Baked Honey Mustard Ham

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Place ham, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Calculate cooking time: 20 minutes per pound of ham.
  3. Add an additional 20 minutes to the cooking time.
  4. Cover the roasting pan with foil and bake for the calculated time.
  5. Remove ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Score the fat in diamond shapes, about 1/2 inch deep.
  7. Stud the ham with cloves, inserting them into the scored fat.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup orange juice.
  9. Spread the honey-mustard glaze evenly over the ham.
  10. Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting occasionally with the glaze. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  11. Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
