Nutmeg, cloves and maple syrup give this ham a wonderful sweet and smoky flavor. Make it the centerpiece of your next holiday meal.

Maple Spice Baked Ham

4 pounds boneless ham, ( or smoked, bone-in ham)
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place ham in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
3. Optional: Decorate top of ham with pineapple rings, place a maraschino cherry inside each rings. Cover remaining top of ham with cloves.
4. Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine apple juice, maple syrup, nutmeg, dry mustard and cloves. Mix well then pour over ham. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until thermometer reads 160°F.

Makes 10 servings.

*Note: Directions are for a bone-in, fully cooked ham. Also called “ready-to-eat’” or “heat-and-serve” ham.
A “cook-before-eating” ham must be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F, approximately 18-20 minutes per pound.
