Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Remove your ham from the package, discard the liquid.

Place your ham cut side down in a large baking dish or roasting pan.

Place your cut sweet potatoes in the pan around the ham.

In a small microwave safe bowl melt 4 tablespoons of butter. To the butter add ½ cup of maple syrup.

Coat your ham with the butter syrup mixture.

Place the ham into the oven, cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours (20 minutes per pound). Remove it 30 minutes before it is done.

When it has 30 minutes left to cook, remove it from the oven.

In a small bowl mix your brown sugar with the pecans. Coat the ham with sugar mixture.

Return the ham back to the oven to finish cooking.

Make the final glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine 4 tablespoons of butter and the remaining ½ cup of maple syrup.

While whisking, bring this mixture up to a slight bubble and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Remove your ham from the oven, drizzle with the glaze. Serve.
