Ingredients

6- to 8-pound fully cooked smoked bone-in ham
1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
Orange slices, if desired

Instructions

Heat oven to 325 ºF. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of ham and does not touch bone or rest in fat.
