Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb fully cooked bone-in half ham
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tbsp whole-grain mustard
• 1/4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1 navel orange

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Heat the oven to 325F. Set the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan, score the fat in a 1-inch diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep, and pour 1 cup water into the pan.
2. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake about 13-15 minutes per pound — roughly 2 hours for a 9 lb ham — until the center reads 125-130F.
3. While it bakes, whisk our smoked paprika-clove glaze: brown sugar, Dijon, whole-grain mustard, cider vinegar, smoked paprika, ground cloves, and the zest and juice of the orange. Simmer 3 minutes until syrupy.
4. Uncover the ham, raise the oven to 425F, and brush on a third of the glaze, working it into the scored diamonds.
5. Bake uncovered 20 minutes, brushing with glaze twice more, until lacquered and deep mahogany and the center reads 140F.
6. Rest the ham tented with foil 20 minutes before carving; spoon any pan glaze over the slices.
