Ginger, Honey Brown Sugar Ham
1 fully cooked smoked whole ham, about 12 to 14 pounds
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp. ground ginger
Mustard Sauce
1 cup sour cream,
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Remove skin and trim most visible fat from outside of ham. Place ham
on rack in large roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into center
of ham, being careful that it does not touch bone. Bake in preheated
oven at 325�. After the ham has baked for about 2 1/2 hours, prepare
the glaze.
In a 1 quart saucepan, mix the brown sugar, honey, and ginger
together. Heat to boiling over medium high heat. Boil 1 minute.
Remove from heat. When the bubbling subsides, brush the ham with
about half of the glaze. Reduce oven temperature to 300�. Bake the
ham for 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer reaches 140�.
Meanwhile, prepare the mustard sauce -
In a medium size bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise,
mustard, Worcestershire sauce , and pepper. Cover and refrigerate
until ham is ready to serve.
When ham is done, remove it from the roasting pan an place it on a
large cutting board. For easier slicing, let stand for about 20
minutes. |
