Classic Baked Ham With Maple-Mustard Glaze

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325u00b0. Cut off the tough, leatherlike skin from ham (if it has it; some hams will not), and score the fat in a crosshatch pattern. Stud ham all over with cloves, put in a large roasting pan, and loosely tent with foil. Bake until a thermometer inserted in center of thickest part (not touching the bone) registers 135u00b0, about 20 minutes per lb. or 2 to 2 1/2 hours total, basting occasionally with any accumulated juices.

2. 2

   While ham is baking, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, maple syrup, and mustard. Whisk until smooth. When ham has about 40 minutes left to bake (internal temperature will be 120u00b0 to 125u00b0), brush generously on all sides with glaze. Continue baking until ham reaches 135u00b0 and glaze is well browned.
