SWEET AND JUICY BAKED HAM



Sweet and Juicy Baked Ham image

This is my own recipe from New Years Day 2006. Our guests raved about the flavor. It is simple to fix, unbelievably moist, sweet, and tasty!

Provided by NormCooks

Categories     Ham

Time 4h15m

Yield 1 Ham, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

18 lbs smoked ham
1 (16 ounce) can fruit cocktail
1 (12 ounce) can Coca-Cola
2 cups corn syrup

Steps:

  • If possible, have your butcher remove the shank from your ham and package the Shank Meat separately. Most will do this at no extra charge. You can use the shank meat as a base for other recipes.
  • If you can find the Brown Sugar flavor of Karo Corn Syrup, use it rather than regular corn syrup. Grocers sometimes only carry this flavor during the Holiday Season.
  • Make sure your Ham is completely thawed before cooking.
  • Remove the wrapper from your ham, and rinse your ham under cold water.
  • To make your glaze pour your can of fruit cocktail into your blender. Puree it into liquid, then pour it into a large bowl. Add your brown sugar and Coca Cola. Hand stir gently for a few minutes until the glaze is consistent.
  • Protect your baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray then covering the bottom with heavy duty tinfoil.
  • Place your rack in the pan, then place your ham on the rack.
  • If you have a food injector, load your syringe about 5 times and inject your glaze into the fatty pockets of your ham. This will ensure the inside of your ham is as tasty as the outside.
  • Drizzle about half your glaze over your ham, then cover the ham loosely with a tent of aluminum foil.
  • Bake your ham for 18 min per pound at 350 degrees. One hour before cooking is done, pour the remainder of your basting mix over your ham, re-cover it with the tent and allow it to finish cooking.
  • When your ham is done, remove from the oven, wrap tight in your tinfoil, and let it stand for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Your guests will be amazed at the flavor. Try to be modest when you are complimented about your culinary excellence.

EASY MOIST HAM



Easy Moist Ham image

I made this ham for Christmas this year. It was delicious! It's very easy to do and my family loved the crunchiness of the crust baked on it. It was very moist. I watched for hams to go on sale and bought a spiral cut 1/2 ham since we only have 5 people (adults). We had enough for leftover sandwiches and then I made a pea soup too!

Categories     Stew

Time 5h15m

Yield 1 Large bowl each, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 spiral cut ham (any kind, I used Safeway brand)
1 cup applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar (I used the Splenda kind, my fiancees diabetic)
4 tablespoons yellow mustard (Or any mustard you like(I used the cheap yellow mustard)

Steps:

  • Foil line a lipped baking sheet.
  • Place the ham with the large side down on the foil.
  • Mix the applesauce, brown sugar and mustard in a bowl and then use your hands to cover the ham all the way around.
  • Cover ham with foil.
  • Put it into a 350 degree oven at 350 degrees for 14 minutes per pound.
  • After it's done cooking (about an hour for a 4 lb ham), take off the foil and use your hands to cover the ham again in the sauce. Lather it on their well to create a crust.
  • Bake some more until the crust is crispy.
  • When done, let the ham rest for about 1/2 an hour.
  • Then spoon the pan drippings in between the slices for more goodly sweetness.
  • Serve while warm --I served it with cheesy mashed potatoes with sour cream and chives and cheese and brocolli. (My family are cheese-aholics).
  • Served with some warned up buns from the baker and sweet cream salted butter.
  • Enjoy!
  • Save the leftovers for ham sandwiches (I just left it in the fridge and people made what they wanted with leftover ham and rolls.).
  • Take the end part of the ham and put it in a big (like a tamale pan) pot, add carrotts, onions, peas and chicken stock to cover. Add some spices that you like (I put in some ginger and salsa--Mrs. Dash and salt and pepper). We ate that with rolls for Christmas dinner after going to the movies all day.
  • So, three meals in one ham! Total cost for all three meals for 5 people was less than $10. Including purchasing all the ingredients (except spices, carrots and onions I had on hand).
  • This'd be a great Easter recipe too!

Tips:

  • Score the ham before baking. This will help the ham to cook more evenly and allow the glaze to penetrate more deeply.
  • Use a sweet and tangy glaze. This will help to balance out the salty flavor of the ham and create a delicious crust.
  • Cook the ham at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the ham from drying out.
  • Let the ham rest before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and moist.

Conclusion:

This sweet and moist ham recipe is a surefire hit for any occasion. The combination of a flavorful ham, a sweet and tangy glaze, and a low and slow cooking method results in a dish that is both delicious and impressive. Whether you are serving it for a holiday meal or a special occasion, this ham is sure to be a hit.
