The Beautiful Mrs. Tas saw this on allrecipes.com and wanted to give it a try:

It was very easy, and turned out even better than we expected!

Here's the recipe, from the link above:

Easter Ham

INGREDIENTS:

1 (7 pound) boneless ham
2 cups brown sugar
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple rings in juice, drained and juice reserved
1 cup honey

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Score ham by making 1/2-inch deep diagonal cuts, creating a diamond pattern; transfer ham to a roasting pan.

3. Mix brown sugar with enough yellow mustard to make a smooth, pourable sauce.

4. Pour reserved pineapple juice over ham, followed by the honey.

5. Pour brown sugar mixture over honey and arrange pineapple rings decoratively atop ham. Secure pineapple rings with toothpicks.

6. Bake in the preheated oven until diamond pattern on ham splits open, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Baste ham every 15 minutes with pan drippings.


We made ours using a bone-in ham (I believe it is referred to as a "city ham"). I scored it, then Mrs. Tas made the brown sugar and mustard glaze and followed the recipe from there.

Here's the ham right before going into the oven:



And here it is coming out:





It was delicious!

One thing about pork, espaecially ham is that it's complemented well by fruit.
Lot's of good hams out there but they're usually quite salty. Here's how to lower the salt . Find a pot big enough to completely cover the ham with water. Bring to a simmer [just below boiling] .Simmer for 20 minutes .discard water. Fill pot to cover ham with onion, celery, carrot parsley, white wine [or hard cider] and simmer for 2-2.5 hours.
Make glaze of jar of peach preserves and grated skin of a lemon [or other fruit of your choice.]
Remove ham and put in hot 450-500 F ,basting occasionally with fruit mix for about 15 minutes. Good stuff !

My wife's Slovak grandmother would boil eggs in the "ham water." Very good eggs!
