Baked Easter Ham<\/p>\n

Serves 8 – 10<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n1 cooked bone-in ham (about 7-8lbs)
\n\u00bc cup dark brown sugar
\n\u00bc cup maple syrup
\n2 tbsp Dijon mustard
\n15 whole cloves<\/p>\n

Instructions:
\nPreheat oven to 325\u00b0 F.<\/p>\n

Score the surface of the ham with shallow cuts in a criss-cross pattern. Stud the ham with the whole cloves and place in a large roasting pan. Insert a cooking thermometer<\/a> into the thickest part of the ham and cover loosely with foil. Bake until the thermometer shows a temperature of 135\u00b0, or about 20minutes per lb. Use the juices of the ham to baste occasionally.

In the meantime, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl. Whisk until you have a smooth paste. When the ham reaches a temperature of about 125\u00b0, take off the foil and glaze the ham all over. Continue baking until the ham reaches a temperature of 135\u00b0 and is nicely browned all over.<\/p>\n

Serve warm or cool. Great for leftovers too!<\/p>\n
