Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get cooking! First, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). While that’s warming up, I take my beautiful spiral-cut ham and place it in a large roasting pan, flat side down. The spiral cuts help the glaze penetrate deeply, making every slice flavorful. In a bowl, I mix the packed brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, and black pepper until smooth. I pour half of this delicious mixture over the ham, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies. What a sweet and savory delight it is! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
