Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze

Though I grew up eating Lamb for Easter. I quickly adapted to enjoying Ham for the holiday. Honestly I offer both meats at my Easter table. I always purchased a precooked ham as I like to make a lot of food for the holidays. I try to find recipes that don't take up a lot of time but are flavorful. For the ham I followed the guidelines for a precooked ham. I decided to use the following glaze
for this year's ham. The ham was perfect.
Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze 

Ingredients
1 (12-pound) shankless skinless smoked cured ham
Whole cloves for studding ham

Variation: GLAZED HAM STEAK WITH BROWN SUGAR MUSTARD GLAZE
1 to 2-inch Ham Steak
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

In a bowl combine the sugar, mustard and vinegar and spread glaze evenly over ham. Bake for another 35 minutes Transfer ham to a platter and let stand 15 minutes before carving.
