Instructions
Preparation
- Remove your ham from its packaging. Discard any plastic cap over the bone if present.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (149°C) for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and black pepper to create the glaze.
- Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern to help the glaze penetrate deeper.
- Brush half of the glaze generously over the ham's surface.
Cooking
- Place the ham in the air fryer basket and cook for about 30 minutes at 300°F (149°C).
- After 30 minutes, remove the ham and brush the remaining glaze all over the surface.
- Increase the air fryer temperature to 350°F (177°C) and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
- Allow the ham to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
- Slice the ham and serve warm.
