Ingredients
1. Ham
The star of this recipe is, of course, the ham. When choosing your ham, look for a bone-in, spiral-cut ham as it will give the best flavor and texture. Make sure to get a ham that is fully cooked, as this will save you time and ensure that your ham is safe to eat.
2. Brown Sugar Glaze
To give your ham that classic old fashioned taste, you'll need to make a delicious glaze to coat it with. The glaze is made with a combination of brown sugar, mustard, and spices, which gives the ham a sweet and tangy flavor. You can also add a touch of bourbon or whiskey to the glaze for an extra kick.
3. Pineapple and Cherries
To add some festive colors and flavors to your ham, you'll need some canned pineapple slices and maraschino cherries. These will be used to decorate the ham before it goes into the oven, giving it a beautiful and delicious finishing touch.
Directions
1. Prepare the Ham
Start by removing the ham from its packaging and placing it in a large roasting pan. If the ham comes with a glaze packet, set it aside for later. Score the ham with a knife in a diamond pattern to help the glaze penetrate the meat.
2. Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, mustard, and spices to make the glaze. If desired, you can add a splash of bourbon or whiskey for extra flavor. Brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get it in between the slices.
3. Add the Pineapple and Cherries
Decorate the ham with the canned pineapple slices and maraschino cherries, securing them in place with toothpicks. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the ham and fruit.
4. Bake the Ham
Cover the ham with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for approximately 10 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize and the fruit to brown.
5. Let it Rest
Once the ham is done, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make for a more tender and flavorful ham.
This old fashioned Christmas ham recipe is a perfect addition to any holiday menu. With its sweet and tangy glaze, juicy pineapple, and festive cherries, it's sure to be a hit with your loved ones. So, why not give it a try and add a new twist to your holiday feast this year? Your taste buds will thank you.
