Baked Ham with the Best Glaze

Ingredients:
For the Ham:
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 2–3 kg)
1/2 cup water (for the baking pan)

For the Glaze:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons orange juice (or pineapple juice)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ham
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
   Place the ham in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
   Add 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the pan.
   Cover the ham loosely with foil.
2. Bake the Ham
   Bake for about 15–20 minutes per kg until heated through.
   While it bakes, prepare the glaze.
3. Make the Glaze
   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine:
   brown sugar
   honey
   Dijon mustard
   orange juice
   cinnamon
   cloves
   butter
   Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thick (about 5–7 minutes).
4. Glaze the Ham
   Remove the ham from the oven and uncover it.
   Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern using a knife.
   Brush a generous amount of glaze over the ham.
5. Final Baking
   Return the ham to the oven uncovered.
   Bake for another 20–30 minutes, brushing more glaze every 10 minutes.
   The glaze should become sticky, shiny, and caramelized.
6. Serve
   Remove from the oven and let the ham rest for 10–15 minutes.
   Slice and serve warm with extra glaze from the pan.

Tips:
You can add pineapple slices on top for extra flavor 

Use cloves in the scored cuts for a traditional look
