Tips:

To ensure the ham is cooked evenly, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham. The ham is done when the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) for fresh ham and 165°F (74°C) for cured ham.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the ham is done by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the ham. If the juices run clear, the ham is done.
Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Ham with parsley mustard sauce is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The ham is cooked until tender and juicy, and the parsley mustard sauce adds a delicious tangy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to celebrate a special occasion.
