Best Sweet N Moist Ham Recipes

ALWAYS JUICY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk beer, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl.
• Place ham cut side up in a large roasting pan; pour beer mixture over ham.
• Bake in the preheated oven until ham begins to brown, about 15 minutes, basting 4 to 5 times.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover roasting pan with lid or aluminum foil.
• Continue to bake until ham is heated through, about 90 minutes more, basting frequently.
• Remove lid and bake until ham is well browned, about 15 minutes more. Allow ham to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

BAKED HAM WITH SWEET GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan, and carefully pour about 1/2 inch of boiling water into the pan beneath the ham.
• Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (do not touch the bone) reads at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C.)
• Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, dry mustard, honey, and lemon juice as needed to make a thick, smooth paste. Brush the ham generously with glaze. Skewer 1 pineapple chunk and 1 maraschino cherry per toothpick, and insert the decorated picks all over the ham.
• Return the ham to the oven, and roast for 15 minutes. Baste the ham, fruit and all, with glaze and juices that have collected in the bottom of the pan, return to the oven, and roast for an additional 15 minutes. Let the ham rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

EASY MOIST HAM

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!

NOT SO SWEET BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange ham fat-side up in a large baking dish.
• Pour chicken broth over ham.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 90 minutes, basting every 20 to 30 minutes.
• Discard broth before slicing and serving ham.
