Brown Sugar Glazed Baked Ham

Step 1: Unwrap/remove all plastic from ham and place cut side down on a baking rack in a roasting pan.

Step 2: Lightly score any fatty areas with a knife in a diamond pattern.

Step 3: Wrap pan with foil and bake at 325F. for 20 minutes per pound, or about 3 hours for a ten pound ham.

Step 4: Meanwhile, stir glaze ingredients together in a small saute pan and bring to a boil; remove from heat; remove from heat and allow to cool. Glaze should be amber colored, have the consistency of honey and not be grainy at all.

Step 5: 30 Minutes before the ham is done, remove from the oven and take off the foil.

Step 6: Use a carving knife to trim away any fat from the meat before brushing on the glaze.

Step 7: Brush half the glaze over the skin of the ham and return to oven without foil; bake 15 minutes.

Step 8: Then brush remaining glaze on ham and bake another 15-25 minutes or until glaze sets and begins to caramelize.

Step 9: Wait 15 minutes before carving.
