Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and move the oven rack to the lowest position.
Step 2: Remove the ham from its packaging and discard the plastic disk covering the bone. Place the ham cut-side down in a large roasting pan.
Step 3: Pour the apple cider into the bottom of the pan and cover the ham tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil to ensure no steam escapes.
Step 4: Bake the ham for 12-15 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part (not touching the bone) reaches 130°F.
Step 5: While the ham bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together brown sugar, honey, mustard, cloves, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat until smooth and bubbling.
Step 6: Remove the ham from the oven and discard the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Step 7: Generously brush the glaze over the entire surface and between the slices of the ham. Return to the oven uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the glaze is caramelized.
Step 8: Remove the ham from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before serving to ensure the Baked ham recipe remains juicy.
