1 (3 lb.) canned ham
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. fine, dry bread crumbs
4 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. tart jelly (crabapple, red currant, or seedless raspberry)

Place ham in baking pan. Bake in a moderate oven, 325 degrees, for 1 hour. Remove from oven; increase temperature setting to 400 degrees. Mix together the egg, mustard and sugar; spread over ham; sprinkle with bread crumbs. Return to oven about 10 minutes or until crumbs are golden brown. Place on warm platter; let rest about 10 minutes before carving.

Meanwhile, add water to contents of baking pan; stir and scrape until all brown bits are loosened. Bring to a boil. Strain into a small saucepan. Add jelly, heat until jelly melts. Serve hot or cold with hot or cold sliced ham. 6 servings.
