- Place ham in a roasting pan. Score surface of ham with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes. Combine the brown sugar, syrup and mustard; rub over ham and press into cuts. Cover and bake at 325 degrees F for 1-3/4 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees F and ham is heated through.
