Ingredients:

- 1.5-2 kg Christmas ham
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Mustard
- Brown sugar
- Water

Instructions:

1. Take the ham out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about an hour before cooking.
2. Rub a generous amount of salt and black pepper all over the surface of the ham.
3. Place the ham in the roasting pan, adding some water to the bottom to prevent it from drying out.
4. Roast the ham at 125°C (257°F) for approximately 4-6 hours, depending on the size of the ham. Use a meat thermometer until the internal temperature reaches 75-80°C (167-176°F).
