The combination of spices and the sweetness of the brown sugar and juice mixture creates a glaze that is very tasty.

Brush the ham with a thin layer of the paste mixture and bake 1/2 hour at 400 degrees. Reduce heat to 300 degrees.

Continue baking for 3 hours, basting top with paste mixture every half hour until all paste is used.

Let ham rest for 15 minutes and slice just before serving.
