This Gewürzter Pflaumen glasierter Schinken (Spiced Plum Glazed Ham) recipe is a traditional dish from Lower Saxon cuisine, featuring a succulent ham glazed with spiced plum flavors. It's perfect for special occasions and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 (5-pound) fully cooked bone-in ham

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Score the surface of the ham with shallow diagonal cuts, creating a diamond pattern.
- In a small saucepan, combine the plum preserves, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.

- Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
