Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked smoked bone-in ham (6 lb)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic or cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Place ham on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of ham and does not touch bone or rest in fat.
  • 2
    Bake uncovered 1 hour 30 minutes. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, vinegar and mustard. Brush mixture over ham during last 45 minutes of baking.
  • 3
    When thermometer reads 140°F, remove ham from oven. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you like, score the fat side of the ham diagonally at 1-inch intervals, cutting 1/4 inch deep; score in opposite direction to form diamond shapes.
  • tip 2
    Apricot-Bourbon Glaze: Omit brown sugar, vinegar and mustard. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup apricot preserves, 2 teaspoons ground ginger and 1/4 cup bourbon or pineapple juice. Brush over ham as directed in Step 2.
  • tip 3
    Sweet-Spicy Glaze: Omit brown sugar, vinegar and mustard. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup honey, 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce and 1 clove garlic, finely chopped. Brush over ham as directed in Step 2.
  • tip 4
    For a unique and beautiful garnish, arrange fresh kumquats, figs with fresh sprigs of sage and rosemary around the ham on the serving platter.
