Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern.

Mix maple syrup, honey, mustard, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, apple cider vinegar, and water in a bowl until combined.

Brush half of the glaze over the scored ham, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.

Insert cloves into the intersections of the diamond cuts for added flavor.

Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover loosely with foil.

Roast the ham for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.

Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.

Check the internal temperature; it should reach 140°F (60°C).

Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme and rosemary.
