- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the ham cut side down in a large roasting pan and cover it loosely with foil.

- While the ham is baking, make the glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, orange juice, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, and cloves.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- After the ham has baked for 1 hour and 15 minutes, remove the foil and generously brush the glaze over the entire surface.
- Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 30–45 minutes, brushing with glaze every 10–15 minutes.
- Let the ham rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
