How to Make Mississippi Baked Ham

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Place ham in a large roasting pan.
In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, mustard, cloves, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Pour half of the glaze over the ham.
Bake for approximately 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
Remove ham from oven and pour remaining glaze over the ham.
Bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until glaze is caramelized and ham reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
