Ukrainian Easter Ham
- 6 to 7 lb. semi-boneless ham
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tbsp. dry mustard
- 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar
- 2 to 3 tbsp. pan drippings
- fat
- Remove covering from ham and wipe with a wet paper towel, then dry ham.
- Trim fat to 1/2 inch.
- Score the surface in a diamond pattern to let the glaze penetrate and stick to the surface better.
- On a wire rack in a large open pan, bake at 350F for 45 to 60 minutes.
- This removes excess water and makes the ham crunchy rather than slippery.
- Baste several times with glaze during the last 20 minutes until ham is well coated.
- Remove from oven and baste again.
- When cool, store loosely covered in refrigerator.
- Serve thinly sliced with mayonnaise and sharp mustard.
- The traditional relish is tsvikly (beets with horseradish) as well as maionez with horseradish.
