Baked Glazed Virginia Ham Food

VIRGINIA BROWN SUGAR BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil.
• Remove all packaging materials and place ham on its side, fat side up, on a rack in the prepared pan; cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Heat approximately 15 to 20 minutes per pound until heated through. For instance, I roasted a 10-lb. ham for 2 ½ hours.
• While the ham is in the oven, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, and yellow mustard.
• Once heated through, remove ham from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Uncover ham, brush or spoon glaze over surface. Return to oven, uncovered, and heat for 10 more minutes.
• Remove ham from oven and let stand, covered, for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

VIRGINIA HAM WITH HONEY-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees with a rack in lower third. Line a roasting pan with a rack. Wrap ham in parchment-lined foil. Transfer to pan, with thicker rind side facing up. Bake 2 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together honey, Dijon, brown sugar, and cloves.
• Unwrap ham. When cool enough to handle, use a thin-bladed knife to peel rind from ham and trim fat all over to 1/2 inch. Score skin and fat with tip of knife in opposite directions, to create a 3/4-inch-wide diamond pattern.
• Return ham to oven and bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. Baste with some of honey-mustard mixture and continue to bake, basting every 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of flesh near (but not touching) bone registers 145 degrees, about 2 hours more. (If necessary, add water to pan, 1/4 cup at a time, to prevent scorching, and tent with foilif ham begins to blacken.)
• Let ham stand at least 20 minutes before carving, or let cool completely and serve at room temperature. Thinly slice against the bone; serve.

BOILED VIRGINIA HAM

Steps:

• Three days before cooking, scrub the ham with a stiff brush under cold running water. When the moldy outer covering has been scrubbed off, rinse the ham well and then place in a large pot. Cover with cold water and set aside in a cool place to soak for 3 days, changing the water daily.
• When ready to cook, drain the ham and cover with fresh cold water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Watch the pot closely, and the minute the water nears a boil, turn down the heat to a bare simmer. Cook the ham for about 5 hours, watching to make sure the water stays at a low simmer. After 4 1/2 hours, check the ham to see if the skin is bubbled and soft. If not, return it to the pot.
• When the ham is done, cool it in a shallow pan. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin with a sharp knife. Also trim a bit of the fat, but leave a thin coating to keep in the moisture. Cut into very thin slices and serve with freshly baked biscuits spread with butter or mustard, such as honey mustard.
