Baked Ham

Ingredients

	1 (12-pound) bone-in ham, rump portion	½ cup whole cloves	1 cup packed brown sugar	4 cups water, or as needed

Instructions

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. 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. 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). Let the ham rest for about 20 minutes before carving.
