Baked Ham
- 1 boneless ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey, maple syrup, or cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 15 or more cloves
- 1 can pineapple rings (optional)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 cup orange juice
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up.
- Bake the ham unglazed until the thermometer reads 130F, or until 1 hour before the ham is done.
- Prepare for glazing by scoring the outside fat in a diamond pattern, cutting 1/4 inch deep with a sharp knife.
- Combine the brown sugar with the honey, syrup, or vinegar and the mustard.
- Mix well and spread over the outside of the ham.
- Stud with whole cloves set decoratively in the center of each diamond.
- Or if you like pineapple rings, set them in place with toothpicks, putting the cloves in the holes.
- Return to the oven for 1 hour to finish baking, brushing, if you wish, every 15 minutes with basting sauce.
- Let it rest and carve at the table.
