  • Prepare the ham: Remove the ham from the packaging and rinse it under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels. If you are using a bone-in ham, score the fat in a diamond pattern.
  • Make the glaze: Combine the brown sugar, ginger, plum preserves, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Glaze the ham: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the ham in a roasting pan and pour the glaze over the top. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover the ham and continue to bake for another 30 minutes, or until the ham is heated through.
