Brown Sugar-Baked Ham
Provided by Grocery Shopping Network

One (8 - 10-pound) fully cooked ham, bone-in
2 - 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp ground cloves (whole cloves, optional)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp yellow or Dijon mustard
1 tbsp flour

Preheat oven to 300-325. If using a cured ham with skin on, cut away skin from ham, but leave the fat. Rub ham with cinnamon and cloves to cover completely. Wrap tightly in foil and bake for 15 minutes per pound. Cool ham slightly and scrape away cinnamon and cloves; discard.

Coat ham with thin smear of mustard. If desired, cut diamond pattern into fat layer and place a whole clove in each diamond as a garnish. Combine brown sugar with flour. Pat brown sugar over ham to evenly cover fat layer. Use additional brown sugar, if needed, to thoroughly coat ham. Return ham, uncovered, to oven for 30 to 35 minutes to melt and caramelize the sugar. Cool before slicing and serving.
