Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap ham completely with parchment-lined foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Transfer ham to oven and bake 1 1/2 hours.
- Unwrap ham; discard parchment and foil. With a large, sharp knife score fat in a diamond pattern, making the lines about 3/4 inch apart. Transfer ham to a large roasting pan.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and Cognac. Brush ham evenly with 3/4 of the brown sugar mixture and return to oven; cook ham 1 hour. Brush ham with remaining brown sugar mixture and continue cooking 30 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter until ready to carve; garnish with watercress and parsley.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Ham: Select a fully cooked ham for hassle-free preparation. Look for a ham with a meaty appearance and a uniform color.
- Scoring the Ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham's surface in a diamond pattern. This helps the glaze penetrate the ham and enhances the flavor.
- Glazing the Ham: Prepare a flavorful glaze using a combination of ingredients like brown sugar, honey, mustard, and spices. Brush the glaze over the scored ham to create a caramelized crust.
- Roasting the Ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan with a rack to elevate it. Cover the ham loosely with foil to prevent it from drying out. Roast the ham at a low temperature (325°F) for the recommended time to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Checking the Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham. The USDA recommends cooking the ham to an internal temperature of 140°F for pre-cooked hams and 160°F for uncooked hams.
- Resting the Ham: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
Conclusion:
With careful preparation and attention to detail, roasting a delicious Easter ham is a satisfying culinary experience. By following these tips, you can create a centerpiece dish that will impress your family and friends. Remember to choose a high-quality ham, glaze it generously, and cook it to perfection. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of this classic Easter dish, and make your holiday celebration truly memorable.
