Ingredients

1 fully cooked bone-in ham around 10 lbs*
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
Place the ham in a roasting pan, flat side down.
1 fully cooked bone-in ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making the cuts about 1/4-inch deep.
Cover the pan with foil and set a time for about 12 minutes per pound of ham. (So for a 10 pound ham, it would be 2 hours).
About halfway through the cook time, prepare the glaze by combining the brown sugar, honey, vinegar and mustard in a bowl. Remove the ham from the oven and spread about 1/3 of the glaze over the top of the ham. Recover and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes.
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup honey, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
After 10-15 minutes, use another 1/3 of the glaze to baste the ham.
Another 10-15 minutes later, spread the remaining glaze over the ham. At this point, I like to baste the ham with any juices that have accumulated in the pan.
Cook until the ham reaches 140ºF. If desired, when the ham is done, remove the foil and broil for a minute or two to crisp up the glaze.

Notes

*I prefer a ham that has not been spiral cut, but they are a lot harder to find. A spiral cut ham will work just fine, they just tend to dry out easier. Make sure to keep the ham covered with foil while baking to ensure a moist ham.
