Baked Stuffed Ham
For the ham:
12-lb. butt end bone-in ham, deboned
1/2 cup coarse grain mustard
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
For the stuffing:
4 tbsp. butter
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
4 cups chopped mushrooms
1/2 tsp. dried sage
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups coarse breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
3 to 4 tbsp. additional dry white wine
To prepare ham: Have the butcher debone the ham. Reserve bone for stock. Preheat
oven to 350�F. Cut the rind from the ham and remove excess fat. Score remaining
fat.
To prepare stuffing: Melt butter in a large skillet and saute onions and green
peppers about 5 minutes, until onions are wilted. Add mushrooms and saute over
low heat for another 15 minutes. Stir in all other ingredients except wine,
remove from heat and toss. Mix in wine, tossing again. If any stuffing is left
over, place in a shallow greased baking dish and bake, covered, along with the
ham. Uncover for the last 15 minutes of cooking time to lightly brown
stuffing.
To assemble: Stuff stuffing lightly into cavity emptied in the deboning process,
being careful not to pack too much. Truss and place in a roaster and then oven,
and cook about 20 minutes, until fat begins to brown. Meanwhile, combine
mustard, wine, and brown sugar to make a paste. Smear this over the browned ham
and continue to bake for another 25 minutes, basting several times with pan
juice.
Serves 16.
