Ingredients

• 0.75 cups water , or as needed
• 2 whole star anise
• 12 whole cloves , or more to taste
• 1 , 7 pound

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. 2 Prepare ham: Add water, star anise, and cloves to the bottom of a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack into the pan; place ham on the rack. Cut 1/4-inch-deep slashes, 1/2-inch apart, lengthwise and crosswise across the top of ham.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4. 4 While ham is baking, make glaze: Whisk together brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl until thick and smooth.
5. 5 Brush glaze all over ham. Continue baking ham, brushing with glaze every 20 minutes, until glaze is deep golden and ham is heated through, about 2 hours 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of ham should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
6. 6 Run a kitchen torch over ham until glaze is crispy and caramelized, 2 to 5 minutes.
