Baked Ham

Ingredients

• 1 spiral ham (7-9 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice or orange juice

Brown Sugar Glaze

• 1/2 cup pineapple juice or orange juice
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 F.
2. Combine dijon mustard and pineapple juice. Brush over ham.
3. If your ham has a plastic disk on the bone, this should be removed and discarded. Place the ham, flat side down in a roasting pan, and cover tightly with foil. Roast 12-15 minutes per pound (or according to package directions).
4. Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer 2-3 minutes. Cool.
5. 15 minutes before ham is done, remove from the oven and turn the oven up to 425°F.
6. Brush with glaze and return to the oven until the glaze is caramelized and the ham has reached the safe cook temperature.

Notes

• Make sure to check that the package says it is "fully cooked".
• If your ham is fully cooked on the package (as most spiral hams are), it will need to cook to 140 F (basically just to heat it).
• A cook before you eat ham needs to be cooked to 160 F.
