How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the ham into a 9” x 13” casserole dish and poke the whole cloves in and around the entire ham. Cover tightly with foil. Cook according to package directions, but should be about 10-15 minutes per pound of ham.
Step 2
In the meantime, make the glaze by combining the brown sugar sweetener and butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute until combined. Remove the ham from the oven and remove the foil. Brush the ham with the glaze using a silicone pastry brush.
Step 3
Place the ham back into the oven uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until it is nicely browned and glazed. Serve immediately.
