2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 smoked ham half -- (6 to 8-pound)

MICROWAVE honey and molasses in a 1-quart glass dish at HIGH 1 minute. Whisk to blend. Whisk in bourbon, juice, and mustard.

REMOVE skin and fat from ham; place ham in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan. Make 1/4-inch-deep cuts in ham in a diamond pattern. Pour glaze over ham.

BAKE on lower oven rack at 350 for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 140 , basting every 15 minutes with glaze.

REMOVE from pan, reserving drippings. Cover ham, and chill, if desired. Chill reserved drippings.

REMOVE and discard fat from drippings. Bring drippings to a boil in a small saucepan. Serve warm with ham.
