  1. Let ham come to room temperature for 2 hours.

  3. In a medium sauce pan, wisk together apple cider, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, thyme, pepper, and chili powder. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir in butter until melted.
  4. If using a roasting pan: Pour 2 cups water into bottom of roasting pan. Place roasting rack inside pan. Roll out enough foil to wrap the ham. Place the ham on the foil and brush with the glaze mixture, including in between the slices. Wrap ham in the foil and place onto the roasting rack.
  5. If using a Dutch oven: Place ham into the Dutch oven and brush with the glaze mixture, including in between the slices. Tent with a piece of foil.
  6. Bake ham until the center is 100-110 degrees. 12 minutes per pound.
  7. Remove and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  8. Unfold the foil to expose the ham and brush with glaze. Leave ham exposed and bake for 20-30 minutes. Let the laze get golden brown and caramelized.
  9. Remove ham from over and brush with more glaze. Spoon any juices from the bottom of the pan onto the ham. Let rest for 15 minutes. Serve with any remaining glaze.
