Ingredients

• 3 pound cooked boneless ham
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Cooking Directions

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Place ham on rack in shallow baking pan. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F. (about 15 to 18 minutes per pound).

Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon mustard.
Brush ham with glaze during the last 5 minutes of baking.

To caramelize onions, cook onions in a covered Dutch oven in hot butter over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until onions are just tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1/3 cup cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom.
Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
