Quantity Ingredient
6 pounds Ham; uncooked
1 can Plums; (1 lb.)
⅔ cup Sugar, brown; firmly packed
¼ cup Water
1 tablespoon Mustard, dry; PLUS
1 teaspoon Mustard, dry

Directions

Place ham, fat side up, in a 13x9x2" baking pan. Drain plums, reserving juice; set plums aside. Combine plum juice, brown sugar, water, and dry mustard; mix well. Pour half of glaze mixture over ham. Wrap foil loosely around ham. Bake at 325 degrees for 3 to 3-½ hours (about 30 minutes per pound).

Remove ham from oven about 30 minutes before cooking time is up.

Score ham in a diamond pattern, making cuts ¼" deep in ham fat.

Spoon remaining glaze mixture over ham, and return ham to oven.

Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, basting frequently.

Garnish with plums.
