Ingredients
Instructions

- Brush the glaze over the ham.
- Wrap the ham in foil.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cloves or nutmeg to the glaze. If you don't have prepared mustard, you can substitute with Dijon mustard or even a bit of honey mustard for sweetness. Make sure to let the ham rest for about 15 minutes after baking before slicing to keep it juicy. This dish pairs beautifully with Ranch Mash Potatoes for a comforting meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the glazed ham with sides like Oven Stuffed Potatoes or a refreshing Quick And Delicious Salad for a balanced meal. The sweet and tangy glaze complements roasted vegetables nicely. For a casual meal, consider making Baked Ham And Cheese Sandwiches with the leftovers for a delicious next-day option.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover ham should be wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for up to a week. To reheat, place slices in a covered dish in a 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through, ensuring the ham stays moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar in the glaze?
Yes, you can use white granulated sugar or coconut sugar as alternatives to brown sugar. However, using brown sugar will give a richer flavor due to its molasses content. Adjust the amount to your taste preference.
How do I know when the ham is fully cooked?
To ensure your ham is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 140°F for pre-cooked ham or 145°F for raw ham. Always check in the thickest part of the meat for accuracy.
Can I make the glaze ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the glaze a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a quick stir before using, as it may thicken slightly when chilled. This can save you time on cooking day.
