Instructions
Remove ham from packaging. Rinse with cold water and soak in the clean sink or tub for 1 hour. Remove and pat dry with paper towels. Place on a metal rack in a deep baking dish with fat side up.
Combine hoisin sauce, plum sauce, brown sugar, cloves, clementine peel, and ½ cup (120ml) water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes or until glaze is reduced by half. It should be thick and syrupy.
Brush half of the glaze onto the ham and into the folds of the cut slices. Reserve the other half of the glaze for later.
Place ham in a preheated 325°F (165°C) oven and bake for 1¼ hours.
Carefully remove the ham from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 375˚F (190˚C).
Brush the remaining glaze onto the ham.
Return ham to the oven and continue to bake for another 30 minutes or until internal temperature of ham reaches 160°F (71°C).
Allow ham to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
If desired, strain pan drippings into saucepan containing remaining glaze. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and allow it to simmer until thick and syrupy. Serve with ham.
