Glazed Baked Ham

Glazed Baked Ham

Ingredients:
Fully cooked ham

Brown-Sugar Glaze:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange or pineapple juice
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard (dry)

Directions:
1. Select a fully cooked ham from those listed in Timetable for Roasting Ham. Allow about 1/3 pound ham per person, slightly less for a boneless ham and slightly more for ham with a bone.
2. Insert a meat thermometer so the tip is in the thickest part of the ham and does not touch bone or rest in fat.
3. Bake uncovered in 325°F oven for the time listed in the chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven. While the ham is baking, prepare Brown Sugar Glaze (below).
4. Remove the ham from the oven 30 minutes before it is done. Remove any skin from the ham. Make cuts about 1/2 inch apart in a diamond pattern in the fat surface of the ham, not into the meat. Insert a whole clove in the corner of each diamond if desired. Pat or spoon glaze over the ham. Bake uncovered about 30 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 135°F. Cover the ham with a tent of aluminum foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5° and roast will be easier to carve as juices set up.)
