Baked Ham With Brown Sugar and Apple Glaze image

This is an outstanding ham recipe and has become a family favorite! The ham can even be fully cooked, covered and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead of time, and you can prepare the glaze a day ahead also. Remember save the bone from the ham and freeze for pea soup! Purchase a butt-portion ham (water-added) that is wrapped in heavy plastic for this, the butt is the best! Cooking time is for the last stage of cooking the ham, prep time includes the first cooking of the ham and making the sauce.
