Steps:

• For the ham: Remove the ham from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Trim off any skin from the ham. Use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Insert the cloves into the ham, placing them at the intersections of the cuts (you may have some cloves left over).
• Put the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours and 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound).

Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Dunk one rice wrapper in the shallow bowl of water for about 5 seconds to soften. Move to your work surface. Add 1 leaf of butter lettuce, torn in half, in the center, and top with 4 pieces of the ham, a small pile of the vermicelli noodles, red cabbage, cilantro leaves and mint leaves. Gently pull the bottom of the wrapper and roll over the filling, using your hands to tuck the filling in as you roll. Fold in each side and continue to roll tightly. Add the roll to your damp paper towel-lined plate. Cover the roll with a damp paper towel. Continue rolling until you have 10 rolls, covering with damp paper towels and keeping them separated (if the rolls touch, the wrappers will tear).
