Start Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Remove all packaging materials. Place ham into a roasting pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil so that no steam can escape.
Roasting the Ham
Roasting Times
A ham should cook for about 8-10 minutes per pound, or to an internal temperature of 140°F.
8-pound ham: ~ 1hr to 1hr 20min
9-pound ham: ~ 1hr 12min to 1hr 30min
10-pound ham: ~ 1hr 20min to 1hr 40min
Meanwhile in a small bowl combine the Dijon mustard and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Set aside.
When the oven roasted ham has 30 minutes left in the cooking time, remove it from the oven. Take off the aluminum foil and glaze the ham with brown sugar mustard glaze. Return the ham to the oven for half an hour.
Remove from oven and tent with aluminum foil. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze for Serving
Meanwhile in a small bowl combine the Dijon mustard, mustard seed and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Microwave the brown sugar mixture in 20-30 second bursts until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Serve the carved oven roasted ham with extra brown sugar mustard glaze on the side for anyone who can’t get enough…
