Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200&# 194;°F (95ðC).
  2. Using a sharp knife, make crosswise slits about 1/2 inch apart, cutting halfway through the ham down to the bone.
  3. Place the ham in a large roasting pan lined with enough aluminum foil to wrap around the ham completely.
  4. Generously pour the honey (or brown sugar mixture) and thawed frozen orange juice concentrate all over the pork, ensuring it seeps into the slits.
  5. Insert whole cloves into the slits all over the surface of the meat.
  6. Wrap the ham tightly with the foil to seal in moisture.
  7. Bake at 200ðF for 6 to 7 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140ðF (60ðC), basting occasionally with the pan juices.
  8. Increase the oven temperature to 450ðF (230ðC).
  9. Unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the glaze to become slightly crisp and caramelized.
  10. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
