Ingredients (serves 8-10):

- 1 (8-10 pound) fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste


Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to score the ham before glazing it. This will allow the glaze to seep into the meat and give it more flavor.
- Baste the ham with the glaze every 20-30 minutes while it's cooking to ensure that it stays moist and flavorful.
- Let the ham rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the meat more tender.
Cooking Process:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Place the ham in a roasting pan and score the surface in a diamond pattern.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Brush the glaze over the ham, making sure to get it into the scored areas.
5. Bake the ham for 2-2 1/2 hours, basting it with the glaze every 20-30 minutes.
6. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
