Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare a disposable aluminum foil baking dish.

Place the ham face side down (cuts side down) in the baking dish.

Wrap the ham well with aluminum foil.

Bake the ham for 15 minutes per pound; for this ham, bake for about 1.5 hours.

After 1.5 hours, remove the aluminum foil from the ham.

Prepare the glaze by combining brown sugar, about 1 cup of honey, and about 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves in a saucepan.

Heat the glaze mixture until the sugar starts to dissolve, but it can remain a bit grainy.

Pour the glaze over the ham, making sure to open up the slices to let the glaze seep in.

Uncover the ham and return it to the oven for another hour, basting every 15 minutes with the juices from the pan.

After an hour, remove the ham from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
