BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD GLAZE
Besides a roasting pan, you don't need any fancy gadgets to make this baked ham. By cooking the ham in the drippings, it's moist and juicy when baked. The sticky, sweet, and tangy glaze penetrates the meat. The sweet mustard glaze melts into the salty drippings making the ham full of flavor and creates the most amazing tangy...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take the ham out of the refrigerator and let sit on the counter for 30 minutes to cut the chill.
- 2. Over med-low heat, melt butter in a small saucepan.
- 3. Add the brown sugar and mix into the melted butter.
- 4. Then add the mustard.
- 5. Once the mustard is incorporated, cook on med-low heat stirring constantly for a few minutes until the sugar melts and is a loose consistency. Make sure it does not boil. (You don't want to make caramel.)
- 6. Unwrap the ham. Place in a roasting pan. Brush about 1/2 of the glaze on the ham.
- 7. Separate the slices and get the glaze in-between the layers. Set the rest aside for later.
- 8. Push the layers back together and cover the ham tightly with foil to keep the moisture in. Bake for about 15 minutes per pound. Bear in mind, the ham is fully cooked. You're not actually cooking the ham, only reheating it.
- 9. Using drippings, baste every 30 minutes, or as often as you like, with a spoon or a brush.
- 10. In the last 15 to 20 minutes, do one final glaze of the ham. Before glazing, stir and reheat the leftover glaze for a couple of minutes on medium-low.
- 11. Take out the ham out of the oven and pour the reheated glaze onto the ham.
- 12. Brush glaze across the ham to spread it out.
- 13. Increase the temperature to 350 and cook uncovered for a final 15 to 20 minutes.
- 14. In order to easily serve the ham, cut in a circular motion around the bone deep into the ham and the slices will come right off.
BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD BAKED HAM
This recipe may sound a bit strange, but my family has been making baked ham this way for generations and everyone loves it! It has a wonderful flavor and is so tender and never dry. It's always a huge hit and so simple to make. Prep and cooking time is based on a 6 pound ham, but any size ham can be used. The idea is to cover the ham with mustard and brown sugar, so amounts should be adjusted depending upon the size of the ham. I noticed in the nutrition information that shows one serving to be 1000 calories! I'm certain this is not correct and probably is figuring the bone in the serving size. Don't be afraid to try it! :-)

Steps:
- Rinse ham in water. I find some brands of ham are saltier than others so ham can be soaked in water for one hour to prevent saltiness.
- Pat ham dry and place flat (cut) side down in roasting pan.
- Pour entire can of 7UP or ginger ale over ham.
- Bake in 325°F oven for 20 minutes per pound.
- Baste ham every 1/2 hour.
- When there is about 20 minutes left to cook, take ham out and cover the entire ham (except the flat side) with yellow mustard. I just squirt it out of the bottle all over the ham and then spread it with a spatula. Then cover ham with the brown sugar. For this I usually use my hands.
- Return ham to the oven until cooking time is finished. Do not baste after mustard and brown sugar have been added.
- Put on platter and slice. Ham juices from pan can be served in a gravy boat to drizzle over sliced ham.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Select a bone-in ham for a juicier and more flavorful result.
- Use a sharp knife: Ensure your knife is sharp to make clean and precise cuts when scoring the ham.
- Score the ham properly: Make shallow diagonal cuts across the top of the ham, creating a diamond pattern. This helps the glaze penetrate the meat.
- Use a good quality brown sugar: Dark brown sugar adds a richer molasses flavor to the glaze.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: You can prepare the brown sugar and mustard glaze up to 24 hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Bake the ham at a low temperature: Cooking the ham at a low temperature for an extended period ensures it remains moist and tender.
- Baste the ham regularly: Basting the ham with the glaze during baking helps keep it moist and adds flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a slightly pink center or 165°F (74°C) for a fully cooked ham.
