Recipe Introduction

"It's so fun to crack open a can of root beer and add it to the glaze. It provides liquid, sweetness, and flavor. Sometimes I use cola or even Dr Pepper!"�Ree Drummond

List of Ingredients

◦ � fully-cooked bone-in ham
◦ 40 whole cloves
◦ � cup Dijon mustard
◦ 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
◦ � cup firmly packed brown sugar
◦ Kosher salt
◦ Pepper
◦ 1 can root beer



Recipe

Heat the oven to 350� F. Place the ham cut-side down on a rack set in a roasting pan; add ⅓ cup water to the pan. Score the ham on all sides in a diamond pattern, cutting only � to � inch deep. Press one clove in the middle of each diamond. Cover the ham with foil and bake for 2 hours.

Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, sugar and � teaspoon each salt and pepper. Gradually add the root beer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

Brush a third of the glaze (about ⅓ cup) over the ham and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes; repeat. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and bake until the ham is heated through and the internal temperature registers 140� F, 15 to 20 minutes more.
