### Ingredients:- 1 (10-pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed- 1/2 cup bourbon- 1/2 cup honey- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar- 1 teaspoon ground cloves- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

### Instructions:

### 1. Preheat the OvenPreheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

### 2. Prepare the HamPlace the ham in a large roasting pan, flat side down. If your ham has a rind, score it in a diamond pattern by making shallow cuts, about 1/4 inch deep, in a crisscross fashion.

### 3. Make the GlazeIn a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, bourbon, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined (about 5-7 minutes).

### 4. Glaze the HamBrush the glaze generously all over the surface of the ham. Reserve some glaze for basting during cooking.

### 5. Bake the HamPlace the ham in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the reserved glaze every 30 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C).

### 6. Rest and ServeOnce cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful ham.

### 7. ServeSlice the ham and serve it with your favorite sides. This superbly glazed ham pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
