Any good old recipes for baked ham!?!
Answers: My grandma used to make a whole ham with pineapple and added a beer over it then cooked it! Was wondering of any other delious recipe for a ham?
Simmer cubed apples and dried cranberries in apple cider and Rum until it's reduced to a syrup...pour over the Ham just before baking...it's delicious
I like to marinate mine in a brine of apple juice and spicy mustard...then baste with maple syrup.
Some people pour Cola over the top.
For a more upscale ham, Pomegranate juice is a great baste and you can garnish with pomegranate seeds....
Crock Pot Cola Ham
8 servings ? day 5 min prep
3-4 lbs fully cooked boneless ham
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard
2 (12 ounce) cans Coca-Cola
Remove ham from packaging.
Lightly score ham in diagonal lines first one way, then crosswise, to form a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut any deeper than about a eighth of an inch. (You can score both sides if you like).
Make a paste of brown sugar and mustard (I used Boar's Head Honey Mustard).
Rub paste into ham on sides that have been lightly scored.
Transfer to crock pot.
Pour in two cans of coca cola into bottom of pot, not pouring directly over ham to wash away brown sugar paste.
Cook on low 7-8 hours.

HOLIDAY HAM
1 country style smoked ham
2 c. water
20 - 30 whole cloves
one (16 ounce) can sliced pineapple rings
1 cup Maraschino cherries, cut into halves
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
sprinkling of garlic powder
sprinkling of onion powder
sprinkling of black pepper
olive oil spray
Place ham in roaster. Add 2 cups water, and cover roaster.
Bake in a 325°F oven, allowing about 21 minutes per pound for a large ham, about 25 minutes per pound for a smaller (up to 12 pounds) ham or half ham. If the ham has an exposed bone, cover this with foil. Keep an eye on the ham as it cooks and spray occasionally with olive oil during the first part of the cooking. Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in center reads 160 degrees. Be sure thermometer is not touching bone.
When ham is done, remove from oven. Lift off rind. Using a sharp knife, score fat surface crosswise (into intersecting squares) and dot with cloves at each intersection.
To prepare the ham coating, combine brown sugar and flour. Rub this mixture over the scored ham. Sprinkle over lightly with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Place a pineapple slice on the ham so that one of the cloves will be in the center of the circle. Cover the clove with a Maraschino cherry half. Each cherry half should be placed in the center of a pineapple slice. Continue until ham is covered decoratively with pineapple slices and cherries. Brown, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes in a 400°F oven or until ham takes on a beautiful glazed coloring.
Note: Cut any remaining pineapple slices into halves and use to decorate around the ham at the bottom of the serving plate, alternating with sprigs of parsley or kale for garnish.
