Instructions
- 1
Remove ham from packaging and discard plastic disk covering bone. Place ham in oven bag, tie closed, and cut 4 (2-inch) slits in top of bag. Transfer bagged ham to large roasting pan and let stand at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours.

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 300°F. Bake ham until internal temperature registers 100°F, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, make the glaze: Bring apple jelly, 1/2 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, whole-grain mustard, cinnamon stick pieces, and nutmeg to boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until mixture is very thick and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 45 minutes. Remove cinnamon pieces. Off heat, whisk in butter.

Remove ham from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400°F.

Combine remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and dry mustard in small bowl.

Cut open oven bag and roll back. Using a pastry brush, paint ham with all of the glaze. Carefully press sugar mixture onto exterior of ham with hands.

Return to oven and bake at 400°F until dark brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.

Transfer ham to cutting board, loosely tent with foil, and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
💡 Cook's Notes
Shank-end hams are preferred because they contain less gristle and fat and are easier to carve than butt-end hams. The oven bag creates a moist microclimate that speeds warming and practically guarantees a moist, juicy ham. Letting the ham sit at room temperature before baking reduces the overall cooking time and helps prevent drying out. The cooking method uses low heat for most of the time, with a short blast of high heat at the end to caramelize the coating without drying out the meat.
