Baked Ham

My mom sent this recipe for what she describes as a very tasty ham. She actually got the recipe from Miranda (Ashworth) Jones. Miranda's mom is Joni, who shared the amazing salsa recipe, the Ashworth's are a family of great cooks. This recipe would be good for an Easter Ham because you can make it ahead and eat it warmed or cold on a buffet. Anything you can make ahead is great for a holiday dinner, then you can spend more time with your family & less time in the kitchen.

Shank Ham Bone in
Place ham in large pot that has a cover.
Cover the ham with a mixture of 2 parts water to 1 part white vinegar.
Place cover on pot and simmer the ham for 3 hours.
After 3 hours drain the liquid and allow to cool enough to separate the ham from the bone. Clean off the fatty parts and section the meat into large chunks.
Place the meat chunks in a large baking pan at least 9X13 if not larger.
Make a mixture of 2 C. Brown Sugar & 4-5 T Dry mustard.
Sprinkle over the top of the ham and pat down.
Cover with foil
Bake at 325 degrees for 2 hrs.
