Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place ham in a roasting pan, and press whole cloves into the top at 1 to 2 inch intervals.

Pack the top with a layer of brown sugar.

Pour enough water into the bottom of the roasting pan to come to a 1 inch depth.

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid.

Bake for 4 1/2 to 5 hours in the preheated oven (about 22 minutes per pound), or until the internal temperature of the ham has reached 160 degrees F .

Make sure the meat thermometer is not touching the bone.

Let stand for about 20 minutes before carving.
