Preparation

• Step 1
  Heat oven to 325ºF. Score fat rind on ham at 1-inch intervals with a knife. Skip scoring if ham is spiral-cut. Place ham, scored-side up, in a roasting pan. Place 1 cup water in the bottom of the pan.
• Step 2
  Combine black pepper, garlic powder and mustard powder in a small bowl and then rub all over the surface of the ham. Tent ham with foil and roast for 1½ hours.
• Step 3
  Combine honey, cinnamon and ground cloves. Remove foil from ham and drizzle or brush honey over the ham. Continue roasting, uncovered for 30 minutes to caramelize the outside.
• Step 4
  Remove ham from oven and let rest 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to carve or present on a platter, garnished with herbs and fresh fruit if desired.
• Step 5
  Serve any juices from pan, in a bowl on the side, if desired.
