Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Score the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4-inch deep. This helps the glaze penetrate. Use kitchen string to tie slices back together in the shape of the original ham, then place on a rack set in a roasting pan. (15 minutes)

03

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together warmed honey and ground cloves until well combined. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the ham. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting frequently with pan drippings to keep it moist and flavorful. (75 minutes)

05

Step

In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix brown sugar, prepared horseradish, and lemon juice until a cohesive glaze forms. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Generously baste the ham with the horseradish glaze, ensuring it drips down between the slices for maximum flavor infusion. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Continue baking for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the glaze is beautifully set, the ham has achieved a rich, browned color, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the sliced ham registers at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). (30 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
If the glaze starts to darken too quickly, tent the ham loosely with foil.
Serve with roasted vegetables and a side of creamy mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
