Dutch Oven Ham

I have wanted to cook a ham in my dutch oven for a while and today I finally did it.  I used my 14 inch dutch oven and covered the bottom with 3 large potatoes sliced and 1 large onion as a base to place my ham on.  I added about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the dutch oven.  I cooked it at 275° using 18 briquettes on top and 8 on the bottom.  I cooked it for 3 hours and then made a glaze, today we just used equal parts honey and brown sugar mixed together but you can use any glaze you would like.  Brush it all over the ham and bake for 10 more minutes.  Let it rest for at least 10 minutes and then serve.
