A baked ham can serve a lot of people. If you end up with a lot of surprise guests, the ham can be thinly sliced to serve more people. The sweet and spicy glaze for this ham makes it special. All ages will enjoy this flavorful entree, which is perfect for a buffet or a brunch, as well as for a sit-down dinner.
1 (14- to 16-pound) fully cooked ham, spiral cut or whole, unsliced

1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
Zest of 1 orange

Mince the garlic in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the chutney, mustard, brown sugar, orange zest and orange juice and process until smooth. Pour the glaze over the ham and bake for 1 hour, until the ham is fully heated and the glaze is well browned. Slice, if necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature.
