Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ham

    Place the bone-in ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep.

Make the Glaze

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine whole-grain mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir until smooth.

  2. 4

    Heat the Glaze

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze thickens slightly.

Glaze and Bake the Ham

  1. 5

    Apply the Glaze

    Brush half of the prepared glaze over the scored surface of the ham.

  2. 6

    Bake the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the remaining glaze.

  3. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize. Once the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), take the ham out of the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with optional fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs, if desired.
