"Come holiday time or gatherings baked ham is a must make at our house. This is one of my favorite recipes. Makes for one awesome tasting ham. Baking in a tightly sealed foil package makes for delicious, moist and tender each and every time. The mixture can be varied to taste by adjusting the brown sugar and mustard. Go with orange juice or switch it up to pineapple juice serving with pineapple slices, apricot nectar and dried apricots. Any of these combinations make for ham you will be proud to serve to family and friends."
