Baked Ham with Pineapple

Slice smoked ham, 1-inch thick
1 ½ teaspoons mustard
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup milk
Pineapple slices

Place ham in baking pan.  Mix mustard, sugar and vinegar; spread over the ham.
Pour in milk; bake at 350F about 1 hour or until ham is tender.  Place pineapple on ham; continue baking until pineapple is lightly browned.  Sliced oranges, apples, canned peaches or apricots may be used instead of pineapple.  Serves 4.
