My in-laws just love this ham. The ham comes out moist and juicy. Makes great leftovers for ham sandwiches.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The honey glaze on this holiday ham is sweet, sticky, and the perfect complement to the salty ham. Studding the baked ham with cloves adds a hint of spice. This recipe does take a little babysitting because the glaze needs to be reapplied every 15 minutes, but it's worth it. The glaze caramelized and gets super sticky and yummy. A fantastic ham for Christmas or Easter.
