How to Make Rum Mustard Glazed Ham

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly score the ham in a criss-cross pattern and place it in a roasting pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup rum (or orange juice), 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon ground cloves.
  4. Spoon half of the glaze over the ham.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Continue roasting for 50 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze every 15 minutes.
  8. For an extra-crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let the ham rest, covered with foil, for at least 30 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
