Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Remove as much of the ham from the bone as you can. Layer one third of the ham in the bottom of a 6 quart casserole dish. Top with a few pineapple rings and 1/4 of the brown sugar. Repeat the layers, ending with pineapple rings on top, but don't sprinkle the last 1/4 of brown sugar.
- Pour any juice left in the pineapple can over the ham. Then pour in enough of the ginger ale to fill the dish about half way. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar over the top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Uncover and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

SUPER EASY BAKED HAM
So one day, I was just too weary to try to do anything special with the ham I picked out for dinner. So I stabbed it with a meat thermometer, and let it bake until done. It was so surprisingly delicious that it's the only way I bake hams now. :) This recipe is written for beginners or for people who have never even thought of baking a ham but found a great sale and now need to know what to do with their hunk of ham. :) Servings are a guess based on the 11 pound ham I served last night.

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.
BAKED HAM
My family loves ham like this. Sweetly seasoned ham roasted with moist heat is a delicious way to celebrate special occasions. If using a pre-cooked ham, follow the directions on the package for baking times.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place ham in a roasting pan, and press whole cloves into the top at 1 to 2 inch intervals. Pack the top with a layer of brown sugar. Pour enough water into the bottom of the roasting pan to come to a 1 inch depth. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid.
- Bake for 4 1/2 to 5 hours in the preheated oven (about 22 minutes per pound), or until the internal temperature of the ham has reached 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Make sure the meat thermometer is not touching the bone. Let stand for about 20 minutes before carving.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Look for a fully-cooked ham that is at least 10 pounds. A larger ham will yield more leftovers.
- Trim the ham: Remove the skin and any excess fat from the ham. This will help the glaze adhere to the ham and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
- Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a crispy crust.
- Make a glaze: There are many different recipes for ham glaze. You can use a simple glaze made with brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard, or you can get more creative with your glaze. For example, you could add pineapple juice, orange marmalade, or even maple syrup.
- Bake the ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan and bake it in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour per pound. Baste the ham with the glaze every 20 minutes or so.
- Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for about 20 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the ham more tender.
Conclusion:
Baking a ham is a relatively easy process, but there are a few things you can do to ensure that your ham turns out perfect. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and moist ham that will be the star of your next holiday meal.
