2

Remove ham from oven. Pour drippings from pan. Remove any skin from ham. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, vinegar and mustard. Pat or brush mixture on ham.

While the ham stands for 10 minutes, the temperature will continue to rise about 5°. You'll notice that the ham will be easier to carve as the juices set up.
Although this ham is delicious on its own, you may want to serve it with honey mustard, horseradish sauce, applesauce or a fruit chutney.
