BAKED HAM

BAKED HAM
I had never made it this way.  It was so yummy & sweet.  I did miss the pineapple taste (Jill's recipe in 2nd McCleve). Might try next time adding some crushed pineapple.  We had it with Pioneer Woman scalloped potatoes.  Yum!

Ingredients
  • 5-7 pound precooked bone-in, not sliced ham
  • White distilled vinegar (around 1-3 cups)
  • Water
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground dry mustard
Instructions
  1. Place the ham in a large pot and cover with 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar until the ham is covered by an inch or two of liquid. Bring to a boil and cook, boiling vigorously, for 2-3 hours, until the meat easily falls off the bone. Liquid may splash out during cooking. Try reducing the heat, but maintain the boil in order to help limit the splashing. Be prepared that it will smell like vinegar while boiling.
  2. After the allotted time, carefully remove the ham from the pot, discarding the liquid, and let it cool until it is easier to remove the meat from the bones. Shred the ham, discarding the fat and bones, and place half in a 9X9-inch baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and mustard. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the ham. Layer the rest of the ham on top and sprinkle with the remaining sugar/mustard mixture.
  4. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
Notes
Use a bone-in butt, shoulder, or shank cut of ham that is NOT pre-sliced.
