BAKED COUNTRY HAM WITH HONEY MUSTARD AND LINGONBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Place ham in a large pot or cooler and add enough cool water to cover. Leave in refrigerator or another equally cool place 3 days, changing water every 12 hours.

Return ham to rack in roasting pan, fat side up, and sprinkle top of ham evenly with 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. Stir together remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar and Cognac in a small bowl. Brush ham with some glaze and bake, glazing every 15 minutes, until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of flesh reaches 140 degrees, about 1 hour. Let ham rest at least 15 minutes. Transfer to a carving board or platter and garnish with rosemary.
