Perfect Baked Ham image

I got this from an old Bavarian Meat Mkt., years ago. Everyone raves about...hope you do, too! It comes out so moist, tender & flavorful! HINT: Stay away from the spiral sliced hams...they have a tendancy to get overcooked & dry out.

Categories     Ham

Time 5h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (7 -8 lb) smoked ham, half (about 7-8 lbs.)
10 -15 whole cloves
2 cups hot water
3 tablespoons ham soup base
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 large onion, chopped coarse
2 tablespoons brown mustard (Gulden's, preferred)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°.
  • Score the fat on the ham in about 1 inches diamond shapes & place a whole clove in the center of each -- 10-15 whole cloves is plenty.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients together & pour into the bottom of a large roaster.
  • Place ham in roaster & place in oven.
  • Bake 5-6 hours.
  • Check every 1½ to 2 hours to be sure there's enough liquid in the bottom of the roaster -- add HOT water as needed.
  • NOTE: I don't normally glaze my ham, but if you do, I recommend making a medium-thick paste out of ginger ale & light brown sugar & glaze during the last hour or so.
