I love Ham. It is a very versatile food, that you can eat for any meal of the day,breakfast, lunch, dinner. My little family enjoys it when I make it, and we can stretch it VERY FAR, when money gets tight, especially this time of year!!!!!
I usually catch it on sale at the grocery store, when it's about 59 cents a pound. It's usually 9 out of 10 times, the bottom shank portion, between 10 and 15 pounds. But I start the recycling process by serving the first meal as a slow roasted ham, with veggies, and whatever side dishes come to mind. Very easy, with LOTS OF FLAVOR!!!!
HAM GLAZE/RUB:
1 HAM
2 C MELTED BUTTER
5 C BROWN SUGAR
3 C DELI MUSTARD
APPROXIMATELY 35 PINEAPPLE RINGS
APPROXIMATELY 70 WOOD TOOTHPICKS
INSTRUCTIONS:MIX MELTED BUTTER AND BROWN SUGAR TOGETHER THOROUGHLY. BRUSH MUSTARD ALL OVER HAM, COVERING TOTALLY. TAKE BROWN SUGAR/BUTTER MIXTURE AND PAT OVER WHOLE HAM, COVERING COMPLETELY. COVER HAM WITH PINEAPPLE RINGS HELD BY TOOTHPICKS.
PUT HAM IN DEEP BAKING DISH, AND COVER WITH ALUMINUM FOIL. (TOOTHPICKS WILL ALSO KEEP FOIL FROM TOUCHING AND REACTING WITH HAM)
SLOWLY BAKE THE HAM ON 250 DEGREES FOR AT LEAST 5 HOURS. The pan drippings are a great glaze for the ham.
