Easiest Ever Oven Roasted Ham Recipes

DON'T MAKE YOUR HAM UNTIL YOU READ THIS...

Steps:

• Stir together first 6 ingredients (other than the ham) in a roaster pan with a lid
• Place ham, fat side up, in roaster pan, and baste the juicy mixture over the ham.
• Cover and bake at 300 degrees for about ½ hour per pound (it's not exact, and at the low heat, it's hard to mess up but the key is LOW and SLOW!) Baste occasionally with the juices at the bottom of the pan.
• Beat together sauce ingredients (except whipping cream) and cook and stir on LOW heat until mixture thickens.
• Cool completely to room temperature, covering with saucepan lid.
• Whip ½ cup whipping cream
• When cool, fold in whipped cream.
• Chill and serve with ham.

BAKED HAM WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place ham in a large baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Whisk brown sugar, ginger ale, mustard, and cinnamon together in a bowl; brush over ham. Continue baking ham until the meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 45 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

AWESOME BAKED HAM

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl, mix yellow mustard and brown sugar until you have a thick"paste".
• Take all wrappers off of ham and trim away excess fat.
• Line baking pan (I spray with Pam in case some of the brown sugar mixture escapes, clean up is easier) with Aluminum foil.
• Place ham on foil and spread brown sugar/mustard paste on top.
• Fold and seal foil.
• Do not open again until ham is done.
• Bake at 350° for 4 hours.
• Let set for about 1 hr then carve.
• One of the best tasting hams you will ever have!

ROASTED EASTER HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Rinse the ham and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, maple syrup, brown sugar and onion powder. Coat the ham entirely with the glaze using a spoon or brush.
• Roast the ham uncovered for 2 hours in the preheated oven, or until heated through. Let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving to keep it from drying out.

BEST BAKED HAM

Steps:

• 1. In medium Sized Bowl, mix mustard and sugar until its a thick paste. Cut fat and wrapper off the ham. Spray a roaster with Non- stick spray. Place ham on large piece of foil. Spread mustard sugar mixture all over ham. Fold and seal foil all around the ham. Bake @ 350 for 4 hours. Remove from oven and let ham rest 1 hour before eating. DO NOT UNSEAL until you are ready to eat!

SUPER EASY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and make sure the racks are all the way on the bottom so there is plenty of room for the ham.
• Bring ham in packaging to sink and have a pan big enough to hold it nearby. I find a 9"x13" baking pan works great. Make sure your pan is at least an inch deep.
• Take ham out of wrapper and rinse it with cool water if you think it feels icky. Then find the plastic doohickey on the large cut end and remove it. At this point you can trim off some of the fat if you would like. I usually don't, as most of it renders out into the pan or is very easy to cut around.
• Place ham in pan with large cut side down.
• Stab with the business end of a probe style thermometer. This is the kind which has a long metal skewer on one end (the business end), a long cable, and a box which has all the controls and readouts. Make sure the probe goes through a large area of meat, not fat, and doesn't hit one of the bones down the center of the ham. Set your thermometer to alert you when the ham reaches 140°F.
• When your oven has reached 350F, put the ham in (be careful, it's heavy).
• Wait until the thermometer alerts you. Then remove the ham from the oven (remember, it's heavy and now it's really hot, too). Remove the probe, and either start slicing or put on a pretty platter and let your family/guests ooh and ahh. :).
• NOTE: The skin gets very black and crispy. Do not panic, the meat is juicy, I promise. Simply cut the skin off where it is really crispy and get to the meat underneath.
• ALSO: If you do not have a probe style meat thermometer, or need an idea of timing for preparing the rest of your meal, an already cooked (city) ham will reheat to 140F in approximately 15 minutes per pound. So a 12 pound ham will take 3 hours. Ish.
• And FINALLY: I like to carve off the leftovers and separate into 1 pound amounts. I then put these into labeled quart sized freezer bags and freeze for casseroles, pasta, or beans another night. The bone can be put into a labeled gallon sized freezer bag, and then thawed for yummy beans another night.
