method

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Score the surface in a diamond pattern and, if you like, stud with whole cloves.
In a saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.
Brush a third of the glaze over the ham, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 1.5 hours.
Remove the foil, brush with another third of the glaze, and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Brush with the remaining glaze, raise the oven to 400°F (200°C), and bake for 15-20 minutes until the glaze is caramelized.
Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with any remaining glaze on the side.
