RAISIN GRAVY FOR HAM
I adopted this recipe from the Recipezaar account. The original poster noted that it is really sweet and good on baked ham. I prepared it for my Easter ham and found it to be sweet with a slight tang from the mustard. I used a powerful, dry, ground mustard and liked the contrast of the bite with the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham. A bone-in ham will be more flavorful than a boneless ham, but it will also take longer to cook. If you're short on time, you can use a boneless ham.
- Score the ham. Scoring the ham helps the glaze penetrate the meat and also helps to prevent the ham from drying out.
- Use a good glaze. The glaze is what gives the ham its flavor, so it's important to use a good one. There are many different recipes for ham glazes, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Cook the ham slowly. Ham is a tough meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly in order to become tender. The best way to cook a ham is in a slow cooker or oven.
- Let the ham rest before carving. Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham and make it easier to carve.
Conclusion:
Baked ham with sweet gravy is a classic holiday dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious ham that will be the star of your meal.
