Country ham with brown sugar coating

A simple, reliable holiday ham — the brown sugar crust caramelizes into a sticky, golden coating in the oven's final stretch.

You'll need

• 1 fully-cooked bone-in ham (8–10 lbs.)
• 1½ cups brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• Whole cloves, for studding

How to make it

1. Score the ham's surface in a diamond pattern and stud with whole cloves.
2. Bake at 325°F, tented with foil, allowing about 15 minutes per pound.
3. Mix brown sugar and mustard into a paste; pat over the ham for the last 20 minutes, uncovered, until caramelized.
4. Rest 15 minutes before slicing.
