Baked Ham

Directions

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.
