Baked Ham in a Blanket image

My Mom prepared ham using this recipe for holidays or special occasions, and it always made the house smell wonderful. I remember watching her 'crack' the blanket off the ham, which both flavored it and kept it extremely moist. I've eaten it many times, but haven't made it myself yet.

Time 3h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 -3 teaspoon ground cloves (to taste)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
cider or apple juice
5 -6 lbs boneless ham

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F; Make a spice dough, combining the flour, sugar, and spices in a large mixing bowl; add enough water or cider to make a stiff dough; roll until it is 1/4" thick and forms a 10x12" rectangle.
  • Place the ham, fat side up, in a foil-lined open roasting pan; cover top and sides of ham with "blanket" of dough; bake at 350F for 3 hours (tent with foil if crust becomes too brown).
  • Remove ham; discard "blanket" crust; let rest for 15 minutes. Slice ham; serve warm or cold.
