Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place the ham in a broiling pan and cut shallow gashes in a criss-cross pattern across the top half.
Combine the brown sugar and the dry mustard and pat it all over the ham.
Put the ham in the oven.
Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to a simmer, and cook until the liquid volume is reduced to about one cup and then strain.
Spoon some of the glaze over the top of the ham. Spoon more glaze, at 15-minute intervals, until it is all gone.
Continue baking until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 160°F on a meat thermometer.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for about one hour before carving.
