Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze

 Ingredients

8-10 lb. Local Smoked Bonanza ham*
1 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Brandy
2 Tbsp. Whole grain mustard
1 Tbsp. Cornstarch
1 Tbsp. Ground cumin
1 Tbsp. Coriander
1 Tsp. Allspice
1 Tbsp. Paprika
1/2 Tsp. Cayenne pepper
2 Tsp. Salt 

Instructions

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and lay the ham on it flat-side-down.

Score the ham with cuts one inch apart and 1/4-inch deep. Do this in two directions creating a grid pattern over the entire surface of the ham.

In a medium bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients for the glaze. Rub half the glaze over the surface of the ham and bake for 50 minutes.

Pull the ham out of the oven. Rub the rest of the glaze over ham and place it back in the oven for another 70 minutes, or until the exterior is dark and crusty and the ham is warmed through.
