SOUTHERN BAKED HAM



Southern Baked Ham image

This is the ham I use for the big holidays. Everyone looks foreword to it. My secret is that it's so easy. I pour the extra sauce in a small dish and use it for the ham--or my favorite is to pour it on homemade mashed potatoes. It's a VERY sweet sauce!

Time 1h40m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

any kind ham (I suggest boneless and not fatty)
1 1/2 cups yellow mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together mustard and honey well.
  • In a separate bowl mix together sugars.
  • Coat ham with mustard mixture.
  • Coat ham with sugar mixture.
  • Bake as directed on ham package.
  • Mustard and sugar will turn into a dark brown sauce. When that happens, start basting the ham every 15-20 minutes until it's done.
