Preheat the oven to 365°F (185°C).

Smear Dijon mustard all over the ham, ensuring to get it in the nooks and crannies.

Turn the spiral sliced ham upside down to prevent slices from falling off during cooking.

Sprinkle onion powder and garlic powder on the mustard-covered ham.

Add about 1 cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the ham moist.

Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan.

Add ground cloves and cinnamon to the melted butter.

Mix in about 1 cup of brown sugar into the butter and spices.

Add about 1/2 cup of Karo syrup to the mixture and stir until combined.

Remove the ham from the oven once heated through and slather the brown sugar glaze all over it.

Return the ham to the oven without foil for 10 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Repeat glazing and returning to the oven for another 10 minutes, up to three times for a crispy finish.
