Champagne Baked Ham



CHAMPAGNE BAKED HAM

1 boneless fully cooked ham (9 lb.)
1-1/2 cups Champagne
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
4-1/2 tsp. honey
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 tsp. ground mustard

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook until glaze is reduced by half. Remove from the heat. Baste ham with glaze; bake 30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140°, basting twice with glaze. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining glaze. Makes 18 servings.
