This ham recipe is incredibly simple yet bursting with flavor. Even as someone who usually skips ham, this one completely won me over!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix yellow mustard and brown sugar until you have a thick paste.
Line baking pan with aluminum foil.
Place ham on foil and spread brown sugar/mustard paste on top and in all the crevices of the ham.
Fold and seal foil to completely cover the ham. Do not open again until ham is done.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 140°F. Time per pound is a rough guide only — the thermometer reading is what matters.
For a caramelized glaze, unwrap the ham for the last 15–20 minutes and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees (or finish briefly under the broiler), watching closely so the sugar browns without burning.
Once done cooking, remove the foil and set ham aside. Transfer the drippings from the roasting pan to a bowl or glass measuring cup. Skim as much fat as possible.
Let the ham rest 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Brush the sauce over the ham and in between the slices and set the remaining aside in a gravy boat as a sauce to pour over the ham if you like.
