ham with brown sugar glaze

Christmas for us means ham for dinner. We did a late lunch/early dinner and will eat the leftovers this evening. Everyone buys a ham at the store. I don't like the glaze that sometimes comes with the hams, so this year I made my own.

Ingredients:
1 cup finely packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons of flour
1/2 teaspoon of mustard
1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon
3 tablespoons of white vinegar
3 tablespoons of water

Combine brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl. Add in the mustard, vinegar and water. Stir until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved. Trim fat from ham and place in the middle of a shallow baking dish. Spread glaze all over ham before cooking. Cover with foil to prevent outside from burning. We bake our ham on 325F for approximately 15 minutes per pound. The inner temperature of the ham should be about 160F when it is done.
