Ingredients
1 uncured ham
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Put the ham cut side down in a 9×13-inch roasting pan. Let stand at room temperature for up to 4 hours before roasting. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat to 375°F. In a small saucepan or microwavable bowl, warm the preserves. Using a small offset spatula, spread onto the rounded top side of the ham; spoon the mustard over the preserves, then sprinkle the herbs on top. Scatter the onions in the pan, and cover the ham loosely with a sheet of foil to prevent the crust from burning. Place in the oven and roast for 1 hour. After 1 hour, brush about 1/2 cup of the cider on top of the ham; pour the remaining 1 cup of cider into the pan with the onions, cover with the foil, and roast 30 minutes more, until the onions are tender. Transfer the ham and onions to a serving platter and the pan juices to a gravy boat. Let the ham rest for a few minutes before serving.
