Yield Allow 1/3 pound per person

Number Of Ingredients 9

I. Ham:
1 10-to-15 pound whole ham, or 1 5-to-7 pound half of a ham
Glaze:
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
3 tablespoons cider vinegar, prune juice, wine, or ham drippings
Whole cloves
Decorate with: pineapple rings studded with cranberries and stars cut from preserved orange peel, optional
Garnish with: Slices of jellied cranberry sauce topped with thin orange or pineapple slices, optional

Steps:

  • Ham labeled "Cook Before Eating"
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. For a whole 10- to 15-pound ham, allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound; for a half--5 to 7 pounds--about 20 minutes per pound; or for a shank or butt portion weighing 3 to 4 pounds, about 35 minutes to the pound. In all cases, cook uncovered until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. For an attractive, quick finish, remove the ham from the oven about 30 minutes before it is done and glaze as directed below.
  • II. Ham labeled "Fully Cooked" or "Ready to Eat"
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. To heat the ham, place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, and bake uncovered. For a whole ham, allow 15 to 18 minutes to the pound; for a half, 18 to 24 minutes per pound. The ham will be ready when the internal temperature reaches 140°F. To glaze the ham, remove it from the oven about 30 minutes before it is done, and increase the oven heat to 425°F. Remove all the rind but a collar around the shank bone. Slash the fat in the top of the ham in a diamond pattern, and cover the surface with brown sugar, dry mustard moistened with cider vinegar, prune juice, wine or ham drippings.
  • Stud the fat at the intersections of the diamonds with whole cloves. Or decorate with alternating half pineapple rings studded with cranberries and stars cut from preserved orange peel.
  • Return the ham to the oven, reduce the oven heat to 325°F again, and cook about 30 minutes. Place on a platter. Garnish with: Slices of jellied cranberry sauce topped with thin orange or pineapple slices.

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.

This is best made with Irish soda bread, and there are several good soda bread recipes here at Recipezaar. Or, though less authentic, you can substitute a good hoagie roll.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 slices irish soda bread
3 ounces thinly sliced baked limerick ham (recipe ID # 20102)
1 ounce thinly sliced pepperoni
1 1/2-2 ounces sliced Irish farmhouse cheese (havarti, which tastes vaguely similar, may be used)
iceberg lettuce
fresh tomato, sliced
6 fluid ounces olive oil
4 fluid ounces red wine vinegar
4 fluid ounces fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • ---To Make The Vinaigrette---.
  • Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until thoroughly mixed.
  • Shake before using.
  • Refrigerated, the vinaigrette will last for about a week.
  • ---To Make The Sandwich---.
  • Toast the bread or bun under a broiler until light golden brown.
  • On one slice of the bread, or one half of the hoagie roll, layer the Limerick ham, then the pepperoni, and then the cheese.
  • Return to the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the broiler, sprinkle with vinaigrette to taste, and top with lettuce, tomato and the other bread slice or roll half.
  • Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Score the ham before baking: This allows the glaze to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more flavorful ham.
  • Use a fruity glaze: The sweetness of the fruit will complement the salty ham. Try using pineapple, orange, or cherry glaze.
  • Baste the ham frequently: This will help keep the ham moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the ham rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender ham.

Conclusion:

Baked Limerick ham is a classic dish that is perfect for special occasions. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, making it a great option for a crowd. With its tender meat and flavorful glaze, baked Limerick ham is sure to be a hit with your guests. Enjoy!
