BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Bake for 4 1/2 to 5 hours in the preheated oven (about 22 minutes per pound), or until the internal temperature of the ham has reached 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Make sure the meat thermometer is not touching the bone. Let stand for about 20 minutes before carving.

Insert a meat thermometer into thickest portion of the ham. (The thermometer should not touch bone.) Bake for 30 to 60 minutes or until thermometer registers 120°F
• Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small saucepan, combine stout, honey, and butter. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Set aside.
• In a small skillet, cook parsnips in a small amount of boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Arrange parsnips and onions around ham. Pour glaze over ham and vegetables. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes more or until thermometer registers 140°F and vegetables are tender, spooning pan juices over ham and vegetables once. Remove roasting pan from oven.

• *Note: To peel boiling onions, in a medium saucepan, cook onions in boiling water for 30 seconds; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. When cool enough to handle, cut a small slice from the root end of each onion. Squeeze from the other end to remove the onion from the peel.
