Honey Mustard Glazed Ham
- One 18- to 20-pound smoked ham, water added, ham hock removed
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup clover honey (one 8-ounce jar)
- 1 cup country Dijon mustard (see Cook's Notes)
- Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large roasting pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the pan with a shallow rack.
- Unwrap the ham and rinse it in cold water.
- Place it on the rack in the roasting pan.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch opening to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the ham for half the estimated cooking time, about 3 hours.
- (Total cooking time is about 20 minutes per pound.)
- Halfway through the estimated cooking time, add the brown sugar and honey to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard.
- Pour the mixture over the ham.
- Continue baking the ham, basting occasionally with the drippings in the roaster.
- Check for doneness at the end of the estimated coking time by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty part of the ham, avoiding any fat or bone.
- The thermometer should register 160 degrees F.
- Allow the ham to stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
- This allows the juices inside the ham to set.
