Sweet Molasses Ham

Ingredients:

• 5 to 7 pound bone in ham
• 2 tablespoons whole cloves
• 1 cup dark molasses
• 1 teaspoon dried mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

How to Prepare:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Trim the skin of the ham with a sharp knife. Score the ham by making long vertical and horizontal cuts. Stud the ham with the cloves. Place the ham on a rack, in a shallow roasting pan. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. In a mixing bowl, whisk 1 cup of molasses, mustard, and allspice together. Remove the ham from the oven and brush the entire ham with the glaze. Place the ham back in the oven and continue baking for 1 1/2 hours, basting every 15 minutes.
