Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 °F (160 °C).

Place ham in large roasting pan. In a bowl, combine cream, syrup and mustard. Brush a thin layer over ham; refrigerate remaining glaze. Bake ham for about 3 hours, brushing every 30 minutes with more of the glaze, until ham reaches an internal temperature of 140 °F (60 °C).

Caramelized Onions & Mustard Sauce:

About 20 minutes before ham is ready, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and syrup; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook onions, stirring often, for 20 to 25 minutes or until very soft and caramelized.

Stir in cream, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil gently for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Meanwhile, transfer ham to a cutting board and tent with foil for 10 minutes. Slice ham and serve sauce spooned over top.
