Preheat oven to 325~. Wipe ham with wet cloth. Put fat side up in pan. Cover bottom of pan with small amount of water. Do not cover.

Bake approximately 15 mins. per pound. To decorate, remove ham from oven 30 mins. before done. Remove rind and excess fat. Score remaining fat with diamond design.

To make glaze - combine jam, honey, cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cloves, and mustard in saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly, at least 10 mins. Spread glaze over ham, put one clove in center of each diamond, and cook 30 mins. more. Cool before caring.
