Oven-Roasted Ham with Maple-Dijon Glaze
  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Trim excess fat from the ham; score it in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife, making shallow cuts about 1 inch apart. Place it in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, whisk the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and mustard powder in a small bowl until the glaze is well combined.

  4. 4

    Remove the ham from the oven. Brush 1/3 of the glaze over the ham.

  5. 5

    Return the ham to the oven and bake for 20 minutes more; glaze the ham twice during this time. Let the ham stand before carving for 10 to 15 minutes.
