• 1lb brown sugar, light
• 3tbsp honey
• 2 bottles extra-dry champagne
• 1 ½tsp each of ground ginger and dry mustard

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

2. Score your ham before placing it in the baking pan.

3. Pour 1 cup of brown sugar over the top of your ham so that it is covered. Pour 1 bottle of champagne over the ham.

4. Place in oven and bake for two hours.

5. In a saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow sauce to simmer.

6. Use this sauce to baste the ham every 15 minutes until it is done cooking.
