1. Preheat oven to 325⁰F. Set ham on a rack in a large roasting pan and add 1/4" water in the bottom of the pan. Roast until the thickest part of the ham registers 125-130⁰F, about 12-14 minutes per pound.
2. While the ham is in the oven, combine pomegranate balsamic, maple syrup, water, thyme, mustard, cloves, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Keep uncovered and allow to reduce by about half or until the glaze has a thick, syrupy consistency, about 20-25  minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Remove ham from the oven, and increase heat to 425⁰F. Drizzle the glaze on the ham using a spatula or spoon to spread Return the ham to the oven, adding more water to the bottom of the pan if necessary, and roast for another 15-30 minutes or until the glaze is thick ad sticky and the ham has reached 140-145⁰F. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
