BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD BAKED HAM

• Bake in 325°F oven for 20 minutes per pound.

• Return ham to the oven until cooking time is finished. Do not baste after mustard and brown sugar have been added.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer or temperature probe registers about 145�. Meanwhile make the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, mustard, and vinegar. Stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Add water and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove the foil from the ham and remove excess fat. Score the ham all over the surface, creating a diamond pattern. Return to the oven and continue baking to about 155 to 160�, basting with the glaze mixture frequently.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take the ham out of the refrigerator and let sit on the counter for 30 minutes to cut the chill.
• 2. Over med-low heat, melt butter in a small saucepan.
• 3. Add the brown sugar and mix into the melted butter.
• 4. Then add the mustard.
• 5. Once the mustard is incorporated, cook on med-low heat stirring constantly for a few minutes until the sugar melts and is a loose consistency. Make sure it does not boil. (You don't want to make caramel.)
• 6. Unwrap the ham. Place in a roasting pan. Brush about 1/2 of the glaze on the ham.
• 7. Separate the slices and get the glaze in-between the layers. Set the rest aside for later.
• 8. Push the layers back together and cover the ham tightly with foil to keep the moisture in. Bake for about 15 minutes per pound. Bear in mind, the ham is fully cooked. You're not actually cooking the ham, only reheating it.
• 9. Using drippings, baste every 30 minutes, or as often as you like, with a spoon or a brush.
• 10. In the last 15 to 20 minutes, do one final glaze of the ham. Before glazing, stir and reheat the leftover glaze for a couple of minutes on medium-low.
• 11. Take out the ham out of the oven and pour the reheated glaze onto the ham.
• 12. Brush glaze across the ham to spread it out.
• 13. Increase the temperature to 350 and cook uncovered for a final 15 to 20 minutes.
• 14. In order to easily serve the ham, cut in a circular motion around the bone deep into the ham and the slices will come right off.

BAKED HAM W/PINEAPPLE & BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• 1. I generally start baking my ham very late at night, or really early in the morning say around 6am. I bake it in a 250 degree oven, and I let it cook for a few hours. You are probably saying to yourself, that is too long for a ham to cook or a smoked ham especially. Trust me, it comes out delicious.
• 2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place ham in large deep roasting pan. (If you purchased a ham that has a flat side, DO NOT put flat side down, this will cause the ham to burn and be very dry.) Pour both bottles of Pepsi over the ham. Cover with heavy duty aluminum foil, sealing it tight around the edges, put on lid. Place in oven and bake for about 3 hours.
• 3. At the 3 hour mark, remove ham from oven (save foil if possible, you will need it again). Drain off all the juices into a metal or heat resistant plastic bowl, and set aside.
• 4. In a separate bowl, mix pineapple (strain pineapple juice out of 1 of the cans, save one can of pineapple juice for mixture), brown sugar, and spicy brown mustard. Whisk all ingredients together until mustard is mixed well. Add 3 cups of the juices from ham (if you own an oil separator it comes in handy here), mix well. Taste the mixture to see if it needs more brown sugar or more spicy brown mustard. You want the mixture to be sweet and tart. Pour the mixture over the ham, place ham back in oven and let cook another hour or 2. If you want the pineapple sauce to be like gravy then you could add some corn starch to thicken it up. I just leave it as is.
• 5. Once ham is done, remove from oven and place on a platter or serving tray. Use a slotted spoon to remove all the pineapple into a serving bowl then ladle some of the juice over the pineapple to serve with the ham.
• 6. This ham is great with your favorite Thanksgiving dressing, cranberry sauce and baked sweet potato souffle' or any time. I bake this ham for Easter dinner with Au Gratin/Scalloped Cheesy Potatoes, Garlic Green Beans and Rolls. My family loves it. Enjoy!!
