Best Country Farmhouse Baked Ham Recipes

COUNTRY HAM BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Butter a large baking dish and evenly spread out the torn bread to cover the bottom of the dish.
• In a large bowl, beat to combine the heavy cream, cheese, ham, milk, scallions, salt, pepper and eggs. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and top with the paprika. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Remove the dish from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Uncover the dish and bake until puffed, golden and cooked through, about 45 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, sprinkle with the chives and serve.

GRANDMA'S BAKED COUNTRY HAM

Steps:

• 1. Rinse ham and soak in water overnight.
• 2. Place Reynolds wrap in roaster pan, enough to completely wrap the ham. Pour two cans of Coke over ham. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of ham then sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the ham.
• 3. Seal the ham tight and bake 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Then start timing your cook time for the ham (15-18 minutes per lb.).
• 4. Remove ham from oven and allow to cool. After cooling take the skin off and score the top of the ham and sprinkle with more brown sugar and cinnamon. Put ham back into the oven to brown it. Watch closely and be careful not to burn the ham.

COUNTRY HAM

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.

COUNTRY FARMHOUSE BAKED HAM

Steps:

• 1. In a medium size mixing bowl, mix yellow mustard and brown sugar until you have a thick "paste". Take all wrappers off of ham and trim away excess fat. Line baking pan (spray with Pam first in case some of the brown sugar mixture escapes), so clean up is easier) with heavy duty aluminum foil. Place ham on foil and spread brown sugar/mustard paste on top and sides. Fold and seal foil. Do not open again until ham is done. Bake at 350° for 4 hours. Let set for about 1 hour, then carve. One of the best tasting hams you'll ever have!
