A delightful twist on the classic Easter ham, featuring a honey glaze with a hint of citrus and spice.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the ham in a roasting pan, flat side down.
Positioning the ham this way helps it cook evenly.
In a saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Stir constantly to prevent the glaze from burning.
Pour half of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Use a brush to spread the glaze into all the nooks and crannies.
Bake the ham uncovered for 2 to 2.5 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
Cover the ham with foil if it starts to brown too quickly.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the ham moist.
Serve the ham on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs or orange slices for a festive touch.
Presentation adds to the appeal of the dish.
