This was great but I didn't waste time studding with whole cloves just used ground. Used small, cooked ham

Outstanding--better than the Honey Baked Ham Company brand. I did tweak the recipe but only slightly. I used a spiral ham. Made the glaze using 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and 1/4 cup brown sugar instead of whole cloves and corn syrup. You will not believe how good this tastes!!!

This is a wonderful recipe that makes an everyday ordinary ham extraordinary! I also use the ham bone to make ham broth that is wonderful to make rice in or to add to mashed potatoes!

Great recipe. I also used butter rather than corn syrup, and for extra flavour added the zest of an orange, a small amount (1/4 cup) of orange juice, a large dash of orange liquer (Cointreau) and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. The foil tip is a good one - baked glaze is pan-ruiner !

Whole family thought the glaze was tasty. As others suggested, I halved the recipe and subbed brown sugar for the corn syrup. Used 1/4 tsp ground cloves instead of the whole (since I had a 8 lb spiral ham) and mixed it in with the other ingredients. The key is to baste it every 15-20 min. Turned out great but I had a lot of glaze left. Next time I will cut the recipe even further.

This makes a delicious ham! I had an 8-pound spiral cut ham and used 1/4 tsp ground cloves, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup of honey and 2/3 cup butter. It was not too sticky while basting, but the pan was a mess afterwards. I'm thinking of getting a disposable pan to put inside our roasting pan next time, and then I could throw it out.

This was a real hit with our family of 8 this Easter ... even with my son-in-law who doesn't like ham stated it was the best ham he ever ate and had thirds. It was delicious. Now, as my husband is diabetic although we are not as careful on holidays as we should be as he we watch his numbers we just substituted the corn syrup for 3/4 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar. I tented the ham for the first part of the cooking ... my ham was a lot larger (cooked it for 20 minutes per lb as it was a pre-cooked spiral ham). Then the last hour and a half I took off the foil and basted the ham liberally with the sauce every 15 minutes. I didn't broil it at the end as it didn't appear to need it. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes after I pulled it out of the oven and everyone was thrilled from seniors to toddlers! This will be the ONLY ham we serve from now on! Loved it and so simple too!
