Chef's Notes
Treat this ham like a pampered aristocrat. Basting is not necessary here because the foil creates a self-contained tropical rainforest inside that pan.
Pro Tip
Scoring the fat in a diamond pattern before adding the cloves and sugar gives the glaze microscopic highways to infiltrate the meat. Genius, right?
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting the water at the base of the pan and accidentally turning your expensive holiday centerpiece into a smoky, charcoal-scented disaster that sets off every smoke detector in a three-mile radius.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal ham is so well-cloved that it could pass for a medieval pincushion in the court tailorβs shop.
The Culinary Science
Collagen in the bone-in ham breaks down into gelatin over the multi-hour roast, which is the secret handshake behind that luscious, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
