- Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
- Remove ham from can, set aside.
- Measure flour into medium bowl. Add mustard and sage.
- Cut in the shortening, using a pastry blender, (or you can use 2 knives) until all the flour is blended, about the size of peas.

- Roll the dough into a 14-inch square.
- Place ham in center. Wrap as you would a package.
- Moisten edges with cold water and press together firmly to seal.
