| Glazed Ham
 1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
 4 cups boiling water, or as needed
 1 cup packed brown sugar
 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder
 1/4 cup honey
 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or as needed
 
 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
 Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan, and carefully pour 
				about 1/2 inch of boiling water into the pan beneath the ham.
 Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until a meat 
				thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (do not 
				touch the bone) reads at least 140 degrees.
 Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together the 
				brown sugar, flour, dry mustard, honey, and lemon juice as 
				needed to make a thick, smooth paste.
 Brush the ham generously with glaze.
 Return the ham to the oven, and roast for 15 minutes. Baste the 
				ham with glaze and juices that have collected in the bottom of 
				the pan, return to the oven, and roast for an additional 15 
				minutes.
 Let the ham rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
 
 OPTIONAL:
 1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained
 1 (10 oz.) jar maraschino cherries, drained
 toothpicks, soaked in water
 Skewer 1 pineapple chunk and 1 maraschino cherry per toothpick, 
				and insert the decorated picks all over the ham.
