Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325ðF (165ðC).
  2. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add minced onion and celery to the skillet; sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
  4. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the dry mustard.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetable mixture, cornbread crumbs, and whole-berry cranberry sauce.
  6. Season the stuffing mixture with salt and pepper to taste; mix well until evenly combined.
  7. Place the smoked, boned, and rolled ham on a cutting board.
  8. Carefully cut a deep pocket into the top center of the ham, removing enough meat to create a cavity for the stuffing.
  9. Pack the stuffing mixture firmly into the cavity of the ham.
  10. Place the stuffed ham in a roasting pan.
  11. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil.
  12. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and the stuffing is hot (internal temperature of stuffing should reach 165ðF).
  13. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes of cooking if you desire a slightly browned top.
  14. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
