Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the bone-in ham in a roasting pan, cut-side down, and score the surface in a diamond pattern.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, honey, and garlic powder until well combined. Drizzle half of the glaze over the ham.
- Insert whole cloves into the intersections of the scored diamond pattern on the ham for aroma and decoration.
- Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and roast the ham for 15 to 18 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Brush the remaining glaze over the ham, return it to the oven uncovered, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes for caramelization.
- Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh herbs and orange zest.
- Slice and serve the ham beautifully arranged on a platter.

Notes
Consider brining your ham overnight for added flavor and moisture. Monitor the internal temperature closely to avoid overcooking, and let it rest before slicing for juicy results.
