Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep.
Combine the glaze ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until warm.
Prepare a baking dish with enough water to cover the bottom.
Generously brush the warm glaze over the ham and cover tightly with foil.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes per pound (about 1 hour and 45 minutes for a 7-pound ham).
Baste the ham with pan juices after 45 minutes and return uncovered to the oven.
Continue baking for another 30-45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.
Remove the cloves and let the ham rest before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite side dishes.
