Ingredients

• 4 cups Mojo Sauce
• 1 bone-in ready-to-eat ham (about 14 to 16 pounds)
• about 16 whole cloves
• 2 to 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup (packed) brown sugar
• 1½ cups dry white wine
• Papaya Salsa for serving

Directions

1. Prepare Mojo Sauce ahead of time.
2. Set aside 2 cups of the sauce for serving.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
4. Place ham in shallow roasting pan; score a diamond pattern about ⅛-inch thick into the upper surface of the ham.
5. Insert a clove at the crossed points of the diamonds.
6. Brush the ham with the mustard and sprinkle it with the brown sugar.
7. Pour 1 cup of the Mojo Sauce over the top.
8. Bake in the center of the heated oven for 2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion (not touching bone) registers 140°F (about 15 – 18 minutes per pound), basting every 20 – 30 minutes, alternating with ¼ cup each white wine and remaining Mojo Sauce.
9. Transfer ham to platter.
10. Let stand 15 minutes; slice and serve with the reserved 2 cups of Mojo Sauce and Papaya Salsa.
