Kat's Molasses Maple Ham

10 to 12 pound cooked ham 
3/4 cup yellow prepared mustard 
1/2 cup sorghum molasses 
1/2 cup maple syrup 
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
Water 
Cornstarch to thicken (optional)

Preheat oven to 375° F. 

Place ham in a covered baking pan along with 3/4 cup water and bake in preheated 350°F oven for 40 minutes.

Combine mustard, molasses, sorghum and pepper, set aside.

Remove from oven. Drain liquid from pan and set aside. 

Using a heat-proof or metal spatula, or a brush, spread syrup-molasses mixture over ham.

Reduce oven temp to 350°F. Pour 1/4 cup water in with ham (do NOT pour over the ham) and cover. Return ham to oven and bake for 50 minutes. 

Place ham on a platter to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, combine liquid from pan with liquid already reserved. Thicken with a little flour or cornstarch, if desired, or serve as is to accompany the ham. Season to taste. 

Serves: 10 to 15
