Is it a real lovely fatty ham with a bone in it or one of these fake picnic hams? If it has a bone, roast it in the oven for an hour basing it with pineapple juice and cinnamon. Before you serve it, make a sauce of pineapple and apple juice, brown sugar, and a lil splash of rum. Spice with lots of cinnamon. Thicken with cornstarch, Put on top of ham slice with a pineapple ring. That is my recipe.

....or....
leave the rind on, place fat side up on the roasting pan, and bake at 350º for 20 min./pound.
Three-quarters of the baking time through, take the ham out of the oven, cut off the rind.
Criss-cross the fat with a knife, put cloves in each fat diamond, and slather the rest of the meat part of the ham with a mixture of tacky yellow mustard (French's) and brown sugar.
Bake the remaining time and allow the ham to stand out of the oven for about half an hour before you start slicing it.

On a serious note
there's a first for everything
. The last time I cooked a ham, Christmas before last, I did the whole 'soak it in coca cola'
other life threatening caffeine based drinks are usable
overnight, then smothered it in mustard and honey prior to cooking. Very nice it was.
