Baked Glazed City Ham
Since the ham is fully cooked, it only requires reheating. A glaze makes a good city ham even better. My glaze recipe is simple and uses ordinary ingredients. Cast iron Dutch oven cooking is my favorite and that's where my ham gets cooked.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 heaping tablespoons apricot preserves
- 2 heaping tablespoons Dijon mustard or substitute your favorite.
- whole cloves
- bone-in ham
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Add first three ingredients to a small saucepan. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Place ham in a Dutch oven fat side up. Score top of ham into diamonds. Stud with cloves.
- Brush with a little of the glaze. Pour about a 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the Dutch oven.
- Cover and cook following package recommendations. If you accidentally threw away the directions, bake for 10 minutes a pound at 325 degrees. During last 30 minutes of cooking, remove cover and baste with glaze every 10 minutes.
- Let rest for 15 minutes before carving…..if you can stand it. Remove cloves before carving.
