Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup dijon mustard 
  • tablespoons juice of lemon 
  • 0.3 cup blackstrap molasses 
  • lb ready-to-cook smoked bone-in
  • tablespoons butter unsalted

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • knife
  • roasting pan
  • kitchen thermometer
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Trim off ham rind to expose thick layer of fat underneath. Use a sharp knife to score fat in a diamond pattern, making sure to not cut all the way through. Press 1 clove into center of each diamond.
  2. Place ham in a large roasting pan and pour in 2 cups of water. Cover loosely with foil and bake until heated through, about 18 minutes per pound (2 hours 25 minutes for an 8-lb. ham).
  3. Combine molasses, mustard, lemon juice and butter in a small saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until butter has melted and mixture is blended.
  4. Remove ham from oven and brush entire ham with about 1/4 of glaze. Return ham to oven and continue baking, uncovered, until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of ham reads 160F, about 45 minutes.
  5. Brush with remaining glaze every 15 to 20 minutes of baking time.
  6. Transfer ham to a work surface and loosely cover with foil.
  7. Let stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before thinly slicing.
