SUPER EASY BAKED HAM



Super Easy Baked Ham image

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.

Categories     Ham

Time 3h5m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (10 -15 lb) cooked ham, bone-in shank half
salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

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 WITH BROWN SUGAR-HONEY GLAZE



Baked Ham with Brown Sugar-Honey Glaze image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 10-pound bone-in smoked ham (with water added)
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup clover honey

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow roasting rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour 40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar and honey in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham and continue roasting1 hour 40 minutes more, basting at least twice with the drippings in the roaster. (To adjust the total roasting time for a smaller or larger ham, calculate 20 minutes per pound.) Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty spot (not into fat or touching the bone)-it should register 160 degrees F.
  • Let the ham stand 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set. (You can make the ham up to 2 hours ahead; tent with foil and serve at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Select a fully cooked ham that fits the size of your roasting pan. A bone-in ham will yield more flavorful meat, but it will also take longer to cook.
  • Preheat your oven: Before you start cooking the ham, preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. This will help the ham cook evenly.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat more easily.
  • Glaze the ham: Apply a glaze to the ham before baking it. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful. You can use a variety of glazes, such as a honey glaze, a maple glaze, or a pineapple glaze.
  • Cover the ham: Cover the ham with foil or a roasting bag before baking it. This will help to keep the moisture in and prevent the ham from drying out.
  • Check the ham's internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the ham's internal temperature. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a fully cooked ham.
  • Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Baking a ham in the oven is a classic and delicious way to prepare this versatile meat. Whether you are following a simple recipe or a more elaborate one, there are a few key tips that you can follow to ensure that your ham turns out perfectly. By choosing the right ham, preheating your oven, scoring the ham, glazing it, covering it, checking the internal temperature, and letting it rest, you can create a ham that is moist, flavorful, and sure to impress your guests.
