Glazed Baked Ham

6-8 lb fully cooked smoked bone-in ham
Whole cloves, if desired
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Heat oven to 325*. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of ham and does not touch bone or rest in fat. Cover ham and bake until thermometer registers 135*, 13 to 17 minutes per pound.

About 20 minutes before ham is done, remove from oven. Pour dripping from pan. Remove any skin from ham. Cut uniform diamond shapes on fat surface of ham. Insert clove in each diamond. Mix honey, mustard and cloves; brush on ham. Bake uncovered 20 minutes.

Cover ham and let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 140*. Garnish with orange slices and maraschino cherries if desired.
