6- to 8-pound fully cooked smoked bone-in ham
1
cup packed brown sugar
2
tablespoons balsamic or cider vinegar
1/2
teaspoon ground mustard
Orange slices, if desired
Maraschino cherries, if desired
  • 1 Heat oven to 325ºF. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of ham and does not touch bone or rest in fat. Cover loosely and bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F (13 to 17 minutes per pound).
  • 2 About 20 minutes before ham is done, remove from oven. Pour drippings from pan. Remove any skin from ham. Mix brown sugar, vinegar and mustard; pat or brush on ham. Bake uncovered 20 minutes longer.
  • 3 Cover ham loosely and let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F. Garnish with orange slices and cherries.

Expert Tips

While the ham stands for 10 minutes, the temperature will continue to rise about 5°. You'll notice that the ham will be easier to carve as the juices set up.

Although this ham is delicious on its own, you may want to serve it with honey mustard, horseradish sauce, applesauce or a fruit chutney.

BEST HAM EVER!! SO JUICY!! I made this last night, followed instructions except for trimming the skin (didn't do that because we like the "bark"). My husband usually makes the hams, but since he was hunting I decided I'd give it a go...and I'm so glad I did! This was the juiciest ham -- even better than my husband's! This had such great flavor, the glaze enhanced the ham instead of overpowering it. From my notes on my recipe I made this back in 2005 and put carrots & pearl onions in the roasting pan and it apparently turned out good back then too. THANKS FOR SUCH A SIMPLE & FLAVORFUL RECIPE that doesn't require basting every 20 mins!

This was my first attempt at cooking a ham for Easter dinner. The recipe was very easy to follow and tasted delicious. I wasn't sure why the skin needed to be trimmed away. My mother-in-law told me not to because she never did, so I just trimmed some skin and fat, but left most of it there. It still came out great. I will use this recipe again in the future.
