Ingredients:
1. Ham
Ham is the star of this recipe, and it's important to choose a good quality one. Look for a bone-in, fully cooked ham that weighs between 8-10 pounds. This will ensure that your ham is flavorful and juicy.
2. Brown Sugar
Brown sugar adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the saltiness of the ham. You'll need about 1 cup for this recipe.
3. Dijon Mustard
For a little bit of tang and depth of flavor, we'll be using Dijon mustard. You'll need about 1/4 cup.
4. Pineapple Juice
Pineapple juice adds a subtle tropical flavor to the glaze and also helps to keep the ham moist. You'll need about 1/2 cup.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating your oven is an important step that ensures your ham cooks evenly and thoroughly.
2. Prepare the glaze.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and pineapple juice until well combined.
3. Score the ham.
Using a sharp knife, make shallow diagonal cuts on the surface of the ham in a criss-cross pattern. This will allow the glaze to seep into the ham and infuse it with flavor.
4. Brush on the glaze.
Using a basting brush, generously brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get into the scored areas.
5. Bake the ham.
Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it loosely with foil. Bake for 12-15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
6. Baste the ham.
Every 30 minutes, remove the ham from the oven and baste it with the pan juices. This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful.
7. Let it rest.
Once the ham is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy and tender ham.
8. Serve and enjoy!
Carve the ham and serve it with your favorite Easter sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Your guests will be impressed by the delicious and flavorful ham you've created.
With this simple easter ham recipe, you'll have a show-stopping main dish that requires minimal effort and yields maximum flavor. Give it a try this Easter and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills. Happy cooking!
