COUNTRY HAM

Categories     main-dish

Time P2DT4h30m

Yield 20 portions

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 country (dry cured) ham
1 liter Dr. Pepper
1 cup sweet pickle juice, optional

Steps:

  • Unwrap ham and scrub off any surface mold (if you hung in a sack for 6 months you'd have mold too). Carefully remove hock with hand saw. (If this idea makes you eye your first aid kit, ask your butcher to do it. But make sure you keep the hock, it's the best friend collard greens ever had.)
  • Place ham in cooler and cover with clean water. (As long as it's not too dirty you can use what southerners call the "hose pipe"). Stash the cooler in the bushes. If it's summer, throw in some ice. If it's freezing out, keep the cooler inside. Change the water twice a day for two days turning the ham each time.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place ham in a large disposable turkey-roasting pan and add enough Dr. Pepper to come about halfway up the side of the ham. Add pickle juice if you've got it and tent completely with heavy-duty foil. Cook for 1/2 hour then reduce heat to 325 degrees F, and cook another 1 1/2 hours.
  • Turn the ham over, insert an oven safe thermometer (probe-style is best) and cook another 1 1/2 hours, or until the deepest part of the ham hits 140 degrees F (approximately 15 to 20 minutes per pound total).
  • Let rest 1/2 hour then slice paper-thin. Serve with biscuits or soft yeast rolls.
  • Cooks note: Even after soaking, country ham is quite salty, so thin slicing is mandatory. If you're a bacon fan, however, cut a thicker (1/4-inch) slice and fry it up for breakfast.

CROCK POT MT. DEW-PINEAPPLE HAM



Crock Pot Mt. Dew-Pineapple Ham image

I have always heard of folks using a cola when basting a ham, but never a citrus drink. It's flavorful and the sugar in it works well, giving a sweet delicious glaze that will make your ham shine. The weight and size of the ham does not have to be 7 lbs. This is a rather large ham, so feel free to use a smaller or larger ham, whatever you will need.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 large shallot, chopped
1 large garlic clove, chopped
4 1/2-inch-thick beef tenderloin steaks
4 thin prosciutto or ham slices, trimmed to fit steaks
4 thin slices provolone cheese, trimmed to fit steaks
4 small Italian parsley sprigs
1/2 cup dry Marsala

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, shallot and garlic and sauté until mushrooms are brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to small bowl.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet and sauté just until brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove skillet from heat. Top each steak with prosciutto slice, 1 tablespoon mushroom mixture, then cheese slice and parsley sprig. Cover; cook over medium-high heat until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Transfer steaks to plates; tent with foil.
  • Return remaining mushroom mixture to skillet. Add Marsala and boil until reduced almost to glaze, about 6 minutes. Spoon sauce over steaks.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a good quality mountain ham for this recipe. A good ham will have a rich, smoky flavor and will be well-marbled with fat.
  • Soak the ham in a brine solution for at least 12 hours before cooking. This will help to tenderize the ham and infuse it with flavor.
  • When cooking the ham, make sure to baste it with the pineapple-brown sugar glaze regularly. This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful.
  • If you don't have a roasting pan with a lid, you can cover the ham with aluminum foil. Make sure to seal the foil tightly around the ham so that no steam escapes.
  • Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help to keep the juices inside the ham and prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Mountain Ham Supreme is a classic holiday dish that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of the smoky ham, sweet pineapple-brown sugar glaze, and tangy Dijon mustard is simply irresistible. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made ahead of time, making it perfect for busy cooks.
