To make this dish, you will need a fully cooked ham, preferably bone-in, weighing around 8-10 pounds. For the glaze, you will need 1 cup of pomegranate juice, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the ham in a roasting pan and score the surface with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened.
Brush the glaze over the ham, making sure to get it into the scored areas. Cover the ham with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30-45 minutes, basting the ham with the glaze every 10-15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
