Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300° F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, coriander, allspice, salt, cayenne and dijon mustard for the glaze. Mix in ½ cup brandy and set aside.
Score the ham with cuts one-inch apart and 1/4-inch deep. Do this in two directions creating a grid pattern over the entire surface of the ham.
Using a toothpick, make holes in each square, then push a clove into each hole.
Place the ham on a roasting pan with a rack. Pour 1 cup of water into the pan. Cover the ham with aluminum foil and put in the oven
Bake for 90 minutes.
Pull the ham out of the oven. Rub the glaze over ham and place it back in the oven for another 45 minutes, or until the exterior is dark and crusty and the ham is warmed through. Let rest for 25 minutes.
