How To Cook Small Boneless Ham Recipes

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.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325º. Place ham on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and score diagonally. Cover with foil and bake until warmed throughout, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• During the last 45 minutes of cooking, make glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and apple cider. Bring up to a boil, then reduce to a medium simmer and cook until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush glaze on ham every 15 minutes, until until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 140°.
• Remove ham from oven, give one final glaze, and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
