Water

¾ cup, or as needed

Whole star anise

Whole cloves

12 or more, to taste

Country-style ham

1 (7 lb.)

Light brown sugar, firmly packed

1 cup

Honey

¼ cup

Dijon mustard

2 tbsp.

Rice vinegar

2 tbsp.

Black pepper

1 ½ tsp., freshly ground

Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp.

Cayenne pepper

1 pinch

Heat the oven to 325° F/165° C/Gas Mark 3.
Place star anise and cloves to the bottom of a roasting pan and add water.
Put a roasting rack in the pan over water, anise, and cloves.
Place the ham on the rack and cut ¼ inch deep slashes about ½ inch apart lengthwise and crosswise across the entire ham.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Combine all the remaining ingredients (from brown sugar to cayenne pepper) in a bowl and whisk until the glaze is thick and smooth.
With a brush, cover ham with the glaze and bake it for 2 hours 10 minutes, brushing every 20 minutes, or until the ham is cooked through and the glaze is deep golden.
With a kitchen torch, heat the glaze on the ham until it’s crispy or for about 2 to 5 minutes
