Honey Mustard Ham

Here is a really quick and easy recipe for a juicy and flavorful ham. This is my go-to recipe whenever I need a quick main-course meat dish that doesn't require much preparation work, and goes with a variety of different side dishes. This recipe is easily scaled up or down, depending on the size of the ham used. In fact, I never measure the ingredients, I just eyeball based on what kind of ham I have. I have always used the fully cooked hams without the bone. Since the ham is fully cooked, the method used and the amount of time for cooking the ham can vary, but you do want to ensure the ham is heated thoroughly. This is what I do:

• Steam the ham for thirty minutes.
• Prepare a simple honey mustard sauce. I heat up two parts of pure, natural, creamy honey until liquidy, then blend it with one part of prepared yellow mustard. I add any spices and seasonings as desired - paprika and garlic are particularly good.
• Place the ham in a pan, pour the sauce over top, and spread on all sides to coat the ham.
• Bake the ham for 45 minutes at 300◦F.
• Remove ham to a cutting board and slice thinly, or remove rind and cut into pieces.
• Baste with sauce again.
• Either serve immediately with a spoonful of sauce, or cover with foil to keep warm before serving.
