After all the fussing that's part of a large festive meal such as Christmas dinner, it's a relief the next day to simply put a ham in the oven to serve with Curried Pears. Ham is as delicious hot as it is cold, and the big bonuses are the smoky leftovers for sandwiches and salads and, finally, the bone that enriches a bean soup.

Method
Remove skin and all but 1/4 inch (5mm) fat on ham. Score diagonally through fat but not into meat to form diamond pattern. Place, scored side up, on rack in roasting pan, roast in 325 F (160 C) oven for 2 hours.Stir together honey, mustard and vinegar; brush about one-third over ham. Roast, brushing twice with remaining honey mixture, for 1 hour or until meat thermometer registers 140 F (60 C). Transfer to cutting board. (Make-ahead: Let cool, wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days; slice.) Tent with foil and let stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
