Description: I love this recipe because it is so easy and it calls for hardly any ingredients, and I always have these ingredients in my pantry. This recipe came from a good friend’s mother, who was always asked to bake the ham for get-togethers and family dinners. Now I get those requests. People who ordinarily aren’t too fond of ham rave over this one. After I carve, I spoon a little of the glaze over the meat in the platter – yummmm!

Ingredients:

- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard and brown sugar until you have a thick “paste”.
-
Prepare the Ham: Remove all wrappers from the ham and trim away any excess fat.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the Baking Pan: Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. (Tip: You can spray the foil with cooking spray for easier cleanup.)
-
Glaze the Ham: Place the ham on the foil-lined baking pan and spread the brown sugar and mustard paste generously on top of the ham.
-
Wrap the Ham: Fold and seal the foil securely around the ham, ensuring that it’s fully covered.
-
Bake the Ham: Place the ham in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 4 hours. Resist the temptation to open the foil during the baking process.
-
Rest the Ham: Once baked, let the ham rest for about 1 hour before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful ham.
-
Carve and Serve: After resting, carve the ham into slices and serve. For an extra flavor boost, spoon some of the glaze from the baking pan over the sliced ham on the serving platter.
