tasunkawitkoOur 2014 Easter Ham
The Beautiful Mrs. Tas saw this on allrecipes.com and wanted to give it a try:http://allrecipes.com/recipe/e.../detail.aspx?evt19=1
It was very easy, and turned out even better than we expected!
Here's the recipe, from the link above:
quote:Easter Ham
INGREDIENTS:
1 (7 pound) boneless ham
2 cups brown sugar
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple rings in juice, drained and juice reserved
1 cup honey
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Score ham by making 1/2-inch deep diagonal cuts, creating a diamond pattern; transfer ham to a roasting pan.
3. Mix brown sugar with enough yellow mustard to make a smooth, pourable sauce.
4. Pour reserved pineapple juice over ham, followed by the honey.
5. Pour brown sugar mixture over honey and arrange pineapple rings decoratively atop ham. Secure pineapple rings with toothpicks.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until diamond pattern on ham splits open, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Baste ham every 15 minutes with pan drippings.
We made ours using a bone-in ham (I believe it is referred to as a "city ham"). I scored it, then Mrs. Tas made the brown sugar and mustard glaze and followed the recipe from there.
Here's the ham right before going into the oven:
And here it is coming out:
It was delicious!
