Honey Baked Ham

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Unwrap the ham and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Cover the ham tightly with more aluminum foil, creating a tent.

Bake for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches about 140°F.

While the ham bakes, prepare the glaze. In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine 1 cup brown sugar, honey, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, and paprika.

Whisk the glaze ingredients until well combined and set aside.

In a separate small bowl, prepare the crust topping. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, and granulated sugar. Mix well and set aside.

Once the ham is heated through, carefully remove it from the oven and uncover it.

Brush and pour about half of the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get it in between the spiral slices.

Using your hands (a glove is helpful), pack the sugar crust mixture all over the outside of the glazed ham.

Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar crust until it's bubbly and golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.

Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
