The Tangy Honey Glazed Ham is a classic American dish that can be found at virtually any holiday gathering. The ham is coated with a sweet and tangy glaze that has a hint of citrus flavor. The combination of brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, orange juice and zest, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves, gives this ham a unique flavor that is perfect for any occasion. The ham is cooked in the oven, and it comes out moist and flavorful. This dish is perfect for those who want to make an impression at their next dinner party!

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2.	Mix together the brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, orange juice and zest, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves in a bowl.
3.	Using a sharp knife, score the ham in a diamond pattern. Place the ham in a large baking pan with the cut side down.
4.	Pour half of the glaze over the ham and brush it well. Cover the pan with foil, and bake for 1.5 hours.
5.	Remove the foil from the baking pan, brush the ham with the remaining glaze and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes. You can also lightly tent the ham with foil if it begins to darken too much.
