Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Trim any excess fat from 8-10 pound ham shank . Place ham into a roasting pan. Add 1½ cups water to the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil so that no steam can escape. 
  3. Meanwhile in a small bowl combine ⅔ cup dijon mustard and 1 cup brown sugar. Stir to combine. Pour half of the glaze into another small bowl and reserve for later.
  4. When there is 30 minutes left in the cooking time, remove it from the oven. Take off the aluminum foil and spread the glaze over the roast (front, back, top and sides). Return the roasting pan to the oven for half an hour for the glaze to set. 
  5. Remove from oven and tent with aluminum foil. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

BROWN SUGAR MUSTARD GLAZE FOR SERVING:

  1. Add 2 teaspoons whole mustard seed to the reserved glaze and stir to combine. Microwave the brown sugar mixture in 20-30 second bursts until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  2. Serve the carved meat with extra brown sugar mustard glaze on the side.
