Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the ham in a roasting pan and score the top with shallow diagonal cuts to create a diamond pattern.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the cherry preserves, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cloves, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Brush a generous amount of the cherry glaze over the scored ham, making sure to cover the entire surface.
-
Cover the ham loosely with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
-
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize and create a beautiful crust on the ham.
-
Once the ham is cooked through and the glaze is sticky and caramelized, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
-
Serve the Cherry Glazed Ham warm with any remaining glaze on the side for those who want an extra drizzle of sweetness.
