baked ham with brown sugar and mustard glaze
Besides a roasting pan, you don't need any fancy gadgets to make this baked ham. By cooking the ham in the drippings, it's moist and juicy when baked. The sticky, sweet, and tangy glaze penetrates the meat. The sweet mustard glaze melts into the salty drippings making the ham full of flavor and creates the most amazing tangy gravy.

How To Make baked ham with brown sugar and mustard glaze
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take the ham out of the refrigerator and let sit on the counter for 30 minutes to cut the chill.
-
Step 2Over med-low heat, melt butter in a small saucepan.
-
Step 3Add the brown sugar and mix into the melted butter.
-
Step 4Then add the mustard.
-
Step 5Once the mustard is incorporated, cook on med-low heat stirring constantly for a few minutes until the sugar melts and is a loose consistency. Make sure it does not boil. (You don’t want to make caramel.)
-
Step 6Unwrap the ham. Place in a roasting pan. Brush about 1/2 of the glaze on the ham.
-
Step 7Separate the slices and get the glaze in-between the layers. Set the rest aside for later.
-
Step 8Push the layers back together and cover the ham tightly with foil to keep the moisture in. Bake for about 15 minutes per pound. Bear in mind, the ham is fully cooked. You’re not actually cooking the ham, only reheating it.
-
Step 9Using drippings, baste every 30 minutes, or as often as you like, with a spoon or a brush.
-
Step 10In the last 15 to 20 minutes, do one final glaze of the ham. Before glazing, stir and reheat the leftover glaze for a couple of minutes on medium-low.
-
Step 11Take out the ham out of the oven and pour the reheated glaze onto the ham.
-
Step 12Brush glaze across the ham to spread it out.
-
Step 13Increase the temperature to 350 and cook uncovered for a final 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Step 14In order to easily serve the ham, cut in a circular motion around the bone deep into the ham and the slices will come right off.
