BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD BAKED HAM
This recipe may sound a bit strange, but my family has been making baked ham this way for generations and everyone loves it! It has a wonderful flavor and is so tender and never dry. It's always a huge hit and so simple to make. Prep and cooking time is based on a 6 pound ham, but any size ham can be used. The idea is to cover the ham with mustard and brown sugar, so amounts should be adjusted depending upon the size of the ham. I noticed in the nutrition information that shows one serving to be 1000 calories! I'm certain this is not correct and probably is figuring the bone in the serving size. Don't be afraid to try it! :-)

Steps:
- Rinse ham in water. I find some brands of ham are saltier than others so ham can be soaked in water for one hour to prevent saltiness.
- Pat ham dry and place flat (cut) side down in roasting pan.
- Pour entire can of 7UP or ginger ale over ham.
- Bake in 325°F oven for 20 minutes per pound.
- Baste ham every 1/2 hour.
- When there is about 20 minutes left to cook, take ham out and cover the entire ham (except the flat side) with yellow mustard. I just squirt it out of the bottle all over the ham and then spread it with a spatula. Then cover ham with the brown sugar. For this I usually use my hands.
- Return ham to the oven until cooking time is finished. Do not baste after mustard and brown sugar have been added.
- Put on platter and slice. Ham juices from pan can be served in a gravy boat to drizzle over sliced ham.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD GLAZE
Besides a roasting pan, you don't need any fancy gadgets to make this baked ham. By cooking the ham in the drippings, it's moist and juicy when baked. The sticky, sweet, and tangy glaze penetrates the meat. The sweet mustard glaze melts into the salty drippings making the ham full of flavor and creates the most amazing tangy...

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right ham. A bone-in ham is best for this recipe, as it will be more flavorful. You can also use a boneless ham, but it will be less juicy.
- Score the ham. Scoring the ham will help the marinade penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
- Make the marinade ahead of time. The longer the ham marinates, the more flavorful it will be. You can marinate the ham for up to 24 hours.
- Bake the ham at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the ham from drying out.
- Baste the ham frequently. Basting the ham will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the ham rest before carving. Letting the ham rest before carving will help to keep the juices in the meat.

Brown sugar and mustard baked ham is a classic holiday dish that is sure to impress your guests. The ham is juicy and flavorful, and the brown sugar and mustard glaze is the perfect complement.
