Place the ham sliced side up in a roasting pan.

Step 4

Pour the orange juice and ginger ale overtop the ham.

Step 5

Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the syrup, honey, sugar, mustard and pepper. Mix well.

Step 7

Baste the ham with juices and brush with ham glaze. Bake again for 20 minutes.

(Be sure to leave about 1/2 cup of ham glaze for basting again right before serving.)
