SWEET AND JUICY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• If possible, have your butcher remove the shank from your ham and package the Shank Meat separately. Most will do this at no extra charge. You can use the shank meat as a base for other recipes.
• If you can find the Brown Sugar flavor of Karo Corn Syrup, use it rather than regular corn syrup. Grocers sometimes only carry this flavor during the Holiday Season.
• Make sure your Ham is completely thawed before cooking.
• Remove the wrapper from your ham, and rinse your ham under cold water.
• To make your glaze pour your can of fruit cocktail into your blender. Puree it into liquid, then pour it into a large bowl. Add your brown sugar and Coca Cola. Hand stir gently for a few minutes until the glaze is consistent.
• Protect your baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray then covering the bottom with heavy duty tinfoil.
• Place your rack in the pan, then place your ham on the rack.
• If you have a food injector, load your syringe about 5 times and inject your glaze into the fatty pockets of your ham. This will ensure the inside of your ham is as tasty as the outside.
• Drizzle about half your glaze over your ham, then cover the ham loosely with a tent of aluminum foil.
• Bake your ham for 18 min per pound at 350 degrees. One hour before cooking is done, pour the remainder of your basting mix over your ham, re-cover it with the tent and allow it to finish cooking.
• When your ham is done, remove from the oven, wrap tight in your tinfoil, and let it stand for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Your guests will be amazed at the flavor. Try to be modest when you are complimented about your culinary excellence.

RITA'S SWEET HOLIDAY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the maple syrup, orange juice, ginger ale, brown sugar and honey. Stir in the juice from the maraschino cherries, and half of the cherries. Score the outer edge of the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern. Cuts should be about 1/4 inch deep. This will allow the ham to soak up the juice.
• Place the ham into an oven bag, and carefully pour the juice mixture over it, keeping all of the juice in the bag. It may look like there is too much juice, but the ham will soak it up while baking. Place the pineapples onto the top of the ham, and secure with toothpicks. Place cherries into the centers of the rings, and secure with toothpicks also. Tie the end of the bag closed with the ties provided, place in a large roasting pan, and cut a few small slits in the top of the oven bag.
• Bake the ham for 2 hours in the preheated oven. The internal temperature should be 160 degrees F (80 degrees C) when done. Be sure not to touch the bone when taking the temperature. Remove ham from bag to a serving plate, and let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

SWEET, SPICY AND TANGY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Glaze -- Mix all together and just heat on medium in a small pot on the stove just to combine all the ingredients.
• Bakings -- As the ham bakes, just brush on the glaze. If making ham steaks, just brush on as you pan fry them. If baking the ham, I like to brush fairly often to get a nice glaze.
• That easy, but it is a nice change from the typical glazes.
