Baked Ham

This holiday-perfect baked ham recipe, made with just four ingredients, will quickly become a tradition in your household.

Ingredients

  • ham (12 pounds)
  • cloves (0.5 cup)
  • sugar (1 cup)
  • water (4 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place ham in a large roasting pan; press cloves into the top at 1- to 2-inch intervals.
  2. Pack the top with a layer of brown sugar.
  3. Pour enough water into the bottom of the roasting pan to come to a 1-inch depth; cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 4 ½ to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center, making sure it is not touching the bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
  5. Let ham rest for about 20 minutes before carving.
