Easy Ham Recipes With Pre Cooked Ham

HOW TO COOK WHOLE BONELESS HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the ham from the packaging and place it into a large baking dish. Pour the water in the dish with the ham.
• Cover the dish with foil or a lid. Allow the ham to cook covered for about an hour, about 15 minutes per pound.
• Now, you can stop there, this will heat the ham through, and since it's already cooked, you can eat it. However, it's much better to add a glaze.
• Make the glaze by mixing together the butter, brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, ground cloves, allspice, and the pinch of salt.
• Pull the ham out of the oven and drain out the water. Brush the top and sides of the ham with one third of the glaze mixture.
• Put the ham back into the oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and add another third of the glaze. Put it back into the oven for 10 more minutes. Remove it from the oven and add the final third of the glaze. Bake for a final 10 minutes uncovered.
• Remove the ham from the oven, and let it rest, uncovered, for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

MAPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Take ham out of fridge 1 hour prior.
• Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F (140°C fan). Arrange shelf in lower third so the ham will be sitting in the centre of the oven (rather than in top half of oven).
• Place the Glaze ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined - use whisk if needed.

SMALLER CROCK POT HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Prep a small crock pot with a good coat of PAM.
• Place 8 oz can of crushed pineapple in the bottom the crock pot.
• Brush the ham with a generous amount of honey, about 1-2 tablespoons.
• Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, cinnamon, and dry mustard.
• Pack the brown sugar mixture on the ham.
• Move the ham cut side down to the crock pot on top of the pineapple. Pile any remaining brown sugar on top of the ham.
• Cook for approximately 3 hours on low. At about 1 1/2 to 2 hours into cooking, spoon some of the pineapple solution on top of the ham and check the temperature. Cook to an internal temp of 140°-150°. Your time may vary some due to the difference in crock pots and the size/thickness of the ham.
• Remove from crock pot and allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with some of the pineapple solution.

Steps:

• Trim ham if needed, then place in slow cooker. Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little. Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.
• At the end of the cooking time, preheat broiler to HIGH, and line a roasting pan with heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Combine sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, paprika and allspice in a small bowl. Pat half of the sugar mixture over the top of the ham.
• Broil for several minutes, until bubbly and caramelized, then remove from oven.
• To a small saucepan, add remaining sugar mixture. Add 3 Tbsp of either water or ham juices from bottom of the slow cooker. A combination of water/ham juice and bourbon is a nice alternative! Stir, and heat to a boil. Boil for about a minute, then remove from heat.
• Brush or pour glaze over the ham, then broil again for a minute or two (careful... don't let it burn!). Remove from oven and let ham rest for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold and enjoy!

THE BEST HAM GLAZE (EASY)

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together.
• Brush over a spiral cut or scored ham.
• If desired, brush extra overtop and broil to make the glaze golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Remove the packaging and the plastic disk from the bottom of the ham. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan, cut side down.
• Bake for 13-16 minutes per pound until ham reaches 135°F.
• Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
• Once the ham reaches 135°F, remove it from the oven. Turn the oven up to 425°F. Brush the ham generously with the honey glaze. (I do 2-3 coats of glaze).
• Return to the oven for 15-20 minutes or until ham reaches 140°F and glaze is browned.
• Remove the ham from the oven and rest at least 15 minutes before cutting. Spoon juices over the ham before serving if desired.

SUPER EASY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and make sure the racks are all the way on the bottom so there is plenty of room for the ham.
• Bring ham in packaging to sink and have a pan big enough to hold it nearby. I find a 9"x13" baking pan works great. Make sure your pan is at least an inch deep.
• Take ham out of wrapper and rinse it with cool water if you think it feels icky. Then find the plastic doohickey on the large cut end and remove it. At this point you can trim off some of the fat if you would like. I usually don't, as most of it renders out into the pan or is very easy to cut around.
• Place ham in pan with large cut side down.
• Stab with the business end of a probe style thermometer. This is the kind which has a long metal skewer on one end (the business end), a long cable, and a box which has all the controls and readouts. Make sure the probe goes through a large area of meat, not fat, and doesn't hit one of the bones down the center of the ham. Set your thermometer to alert you when the ham reaches 140°F.
• When your oven has reached 350F, put the ham in (be careful, it's heavy).
• Wait until the thermometer alerts you. Then remove the ham from the oven (remember, it's heavy and now it's really hot, too). Remove the probe, and either start slicing or put on a pretty platter and let your family/guests ooh and ahh. :).
• NOTE: The skin gets very black and crispy. Do not panic, the meat is juicy, I promise. Simply cut the skin off where it is really crispy and get to the meat underneath.
• ALSO: If you do not have a probe style meat thermometer, or need an idea of timing for preparing the rest of your meal, an already cooked (city) ham will reheat to 140F in approximately 15 minutes per pound. So a 12 pound ham will take 3 hours. Ish.
• And FINALLY: I like to carve off the leftovers and separate into 1 pound amounts. I then put these into labeled quart sized freezer bags and freeze for casseroles, pasta, or beans another night. The bone can be put into a labeled gallon sized freezer bag, and then thawed for yummy beans another night.
