Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Honey Baked Ham
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather your roasting pan large enough to fit your ham comfortably.
  2. Place the ham in the roasting pan with the flat side down. Score the surface in a crosshatch pattern.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, ground cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Brush the prepared glaze over the ham, ensuring it seeps into the scored areas. Reserve some for basting.
  5. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 20 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil during the last 20 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  7. Once baked, let the ham rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
