Baked Ham

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. 2

   Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up.

3. 3

   Bake the ham unglazed until the thermometer reads 130F, or until 1 hour before the ham is done.

4. 4

   Prepare for glazing by scoring the outside fat in a diamond pattern, cutting 1/4 inch deep with a sharp knife.

5. 5

   Combine the brown sugar with the honey, syrup, or vinegar and the mustard.

6. 6

   Mix well and spread over the outside of the ham.

7. 7

   Stud with whole cloves set decoratively in the center of each diamond.

8. 8

   Or if you like pineapple rings, set them in place with toothpicks, putting the cloves in the holes.

9. 9

   Return to the oven for 1 hour to finish baking, brushing, if you wish, every 15 minutes with basting sauce.

10. 10

    Let it rest and carve at the table.
