Baked Glazed Ham

Submitted by Oolala

"From The Complete American Illustrated Cookbook, 1980. I didn't grow up on ham but my DH loves it so I have collected a few recipes. Haven't tried any yet. He has to watch his sugar now so it's hard to make a lot of the things he liked. This only has 4 tbsp. brown sugar and 2 tbsp. honey so it's not too bad."
