Holiday Ham

Prep Time 15 minutes * Cook Time 50-60 minutes * Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes * Servings 8-10 people

Ingredients

• 3-5lb Breakaway Farms smoked bone-in ham (Buy Here)

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/2 cup local Butter

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1/4 cup local honey

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 2-3 cloves garlic, smashed

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees, placing a rack in the lower third of the oven. Remove all packaging from the ham. Rest the ham at room temperature for about 1 or 2 hours.

2. If you prefer an easier cleanup, line a baking dish with parchment paper.

3. Place the ham in the prepared baking dish, then pour the water into the base of the dish. Cover the ham with a layer of foil or parchment paper, then bake for 20 minutes.

4. While the ham is baking, heat the butter in a small pot until golden brown. Add the brown sugar, honey, and mustard, and stir well until combined. Reduce heat and add the garlic. Cook until it begins to simmer, then set the sauce aside and cool to room temperature.

5. After 20 minutes, remove the ham and increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees. Pour 1/2 the glaze all over the ham, using a brush to coat well. Bake uncovered for another 15 minutes.

6. Remove the ham from the oven, then brush another 1/2 of the glaze on top. Use some of the pan juices to brush on as well. Place back in the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, baste the ham with the juices collecting in the pan. At this time a dark golden-brown crust should form on the top of the ham. If it does not form, turn on your broiler for about 5 minutes. Check to make sure that the internal temperature has reached 145*

7. Once the ham has reached 145*, let it rest for around 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
