Preparation

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the butter in a large ovenproof pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar and vinegar and and cook until the sugar melts. Place the ham in the center of the pot. Scatter the rhubarb around the ham, stirring to coat it with the sauce. Place the potatoes around the ham and cover the top with foil. Bake until the ham is heated through and the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Carefully remove the ham and potatoes from the pot. With a slotted spoon, transfer the rhubarb to a bowl. Place the pot over medium-high heat and cook until the liquid has reduced to ½ cup, about 5 minutes. Stir the sauce into the rhubarb. Slice enough ham to serve 4 and divide among 4 plates. Place 2 potatoes on each plate and spoon the rhubarb mixture over the ham. Serve immediately.
