Charmaine Nevilles Sweet Baked Ham Recipes

CHARMAINE NEVILLE'S SWEET BAKED HAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix the mustard and brown sugar until a big sticky mess is formed making sure to break up any clumps of brown sugar.
• Place the ham in the bag and using your hands or a rubber spatula spread the sugar-mustard glaze evenly over the ham.
• Pour the Coke into the bag over the ham and seal the plastic bag tightly.
• Place the bag in the refrigerator and refrigerate for 2 - 3 days.
• On the 3rd day, rise the ham from the bag and place in a 300 degree oven for 45 minutes.
• After the initial 45 minutes, baste the ham every 15 minutes for a total of 10 minutes per pound total roasting time or "until it falls apart.".

MISSISSIPPI BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Rinse and dry ham. Score skin of ham with a knife in a criss-crossing 1-inch diamond pattern all around. Stuff one clove in every gap where the crosses intersect.
• In a baking pan, whisk together the cola and reserved pinapple syrup. Place ham cut side down in the pan. Glaze with the cola/syrup mixture. Pat brown sugar all over the ham, then cover with foil.
• Bake, covered, for 15-20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 135-145°F (cooking these big chunks of meat always takes me longer than the packaging says- a probe thermometer really helps here). Baste every 20 minutes or so. Halfway through the cooking time, remove foil and stick the pineapple slices onto the ham with toothpicks. Put a maraschino cherry in each pineapple slice hole, also with a toothpick. Continue baking, uncovered, and don't forget to baste.
• For a more caramelized glaze on the ham, just before it has finished cooking increase the oven temperature to 450°F Check it frequently and baste constantly to make sure it does not burn.
• Remove from oven and let sit for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
