Baked Ham

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. 2

   Cut away fat from ham, leaving about 1/4-inch fat all around.

3. 3

   Remove any tough skin.

4. 4

   Score fat in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife, being careful not o cut into the meat of the ham.

5. 5

   Place ham, fattier side up, in a roasting pan and roast on a middle rack of the oven.

6. 6

   A good roasting guideline is about 15 minutes per pound with the final internal temperature at about 140 degrees.

7. 7

   While the ham is roasting, mix together all the ingredients for the glaze.

8. 8

   About halfway through the roasting time, increase the temperature to 350 degrees and begin brushing the ham with the glaze, repeating about every 15 minutes.

9. 9

   If the sugar starts to burn the bottom of the pan, keep adding stock or water.

10. 10

    When the ham is finished, remove to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

11. 11

    If you'd like, deglaze the pan with a little white wine and add the remaining stock of water.

12. 12

    Reduce to make a sauce.

    Alternatively, just serve the ham with a nice selection of mustards and chutneys.
