Since finding this recipe, it's become my favorite way to cook ham. My family loves the crunchy crust that bakes on the ham...very yummy! The recipe came from a cookbooklet that I received in one of our swaps. Very Important Note: be sure to use a fully cooked cured ham which only needs to warmed through for this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 (7 lb) halved bone-in cured smoked ham
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
Directions:
1. Put a roasting rack inside a roasting pan that has been lined with foil.
2. Place the ham, flat side down, on waxed paper.
3. Making sure not to cut into the meat, lightly score the layer of fat on top of the ham in a diamond pattern,.
4. Combine the granulated and brown sugars; set aside.
5. Brush the top of the ham with mustard; coat evenly.
6. Press the sugars onto the mustard making sure to coat the ham evenly.
7. Place the coated side of the ham up on the roasting rack.
8. Roast at 350 degrees for about 1 hour, or until heated through evenly.
9. Increase the temperature to 450 degrees and roast the ham until the crust is crunchy (should take about 15 minutes).
