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!

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.

MOIST SPIRAL CUT HAM WITH PINEAPPLE HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Place ham, left in plastic covering from company (and netting to make handling easier), into large container. Cover with hot tap water. Let sit for 45 minutes. Empty water and refill with hot tap water for another 45 minutes. This allows the internal temperature of ham to raise before placing in oven.
• 2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Adjust oven rack to lowest position.
• 3. Remove ham from water and all packaging from company. Be sure to remove plastic disk covering bone. Place ham inside large oven bag making sure that the cut side is at bottom of bag. Gather bag tightly around ham and tie. Place in large roasting pan. Cut 4 small slits in top of bag with knife.
• 4. Bake ham until internal temperature reaches 100 degrees (approximately 90 minutes or 10 minutes per pound).
• 5. During last minutes of ham cooking time, combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, paprika, and ginger in small saucepan. Once combined add pineapple juice and honey and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Consitency should just allow you to pour. If not, add more pineapple juice.
• 6. Remove ham from oven. Untie oven bag and roll down sides. Any juices inside bag you will want to keep within bag. Increase heat in oven to 350 degrees.
• 7. Starting at the bottom cut portion of the ham, hang pineapple slices on ham with toothpicks.
• 8. Slowly poor 1/4 of glaze over ham. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Repeat twice. You will still have glaze left over for those who may like more glaze with their ham.
• 9. After final oven glazing, remove ham from oven. Remove pineapple slices (if you wish) to a separate bowl for serving. There will be liquid in the bottom of the bag. My family likes this added to the leftover glaze to pour on individual ham slices and served with individual pineapple slices.
• 10. Place ham on platter and serve. Pour glaze and ham juices into gravy boat for service.
