I need a yummy baked ham recipe for this evening.?

I have a degree in Culinary and this ham has NEVER failed me.





Perfect Ham Every Time





1 Jar of Honey Dijon Mustard - no other mustard will do


1 Bag of Light Brown Sugar


1 Can of Cooking Spray - I use a lot of spray on the pan





1. If you have a pan large enough to use without using foil, that's the pan you want to use. You'd rather use a pan that you can use a lid with.





2. Spray the pan that you're going to us with the Cooking Spray





3. Cover the ham with the Mustard.





4. Now cover the ham with the sugar and bake at 350* for about 3.5-4 hours.











Awesome Green Beans





1 Large Cooking Onion cut into strips


1 Pound of Bacon


1 Large Red Pepper cut into strips


16-32 OZ. Canned or Frozen Green Beans


Salt %26amp; Pepper to Taste


1 T. Accent





1. In a large pan, fry all of the bacon reserving the grease. Don't hard fry the bacon. You want it to be a little soft. When it's fried soft, you get more oil from it.





2. Set all of your bacon aside.





3. Now mix all of your onions, peppers, Accent, salt, and pepper in the pan and fry to desired tenderness.





4. Push peppers and onions to one side of pan and add your green beans.





5. Spread them out in the pan. Cook them on medium heat for about [5 minutes if frozen], 3 minutes or less if from the can.





6. Once you're satisfied that the beans are hot enough, add the peppers and onions into the beans.





((((( I'll usually cover mine with another skillet while the beans are cooking. And I'll cut up the bacon so I can sprinkle it on top when finished.)))))





This receipe just gets better the more you make it. The only problem is that it's not too healthy. (The bacon grease.)





You can add minced garlic, dried Italian seasonings, garlic powder, or just about anything you can think of. I came up with it when I got tired of boring green beans. And I discovered that I don't like the traditional green beans with that nasty mushroom soup and onion stuff. Yuck! I need a yummy baked ham recipe for this evening.?
I like to score the top of my ham in a diamond shape and stud the center of each diamond with a whole clove. Then mix a cup of dijon mustard with a third of a cup of brown sugar (golden) and a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup. After the ham has been baking for about an hour and half, remove it from the oven and spread the mustard over the top and sides of the ham. Return to the oven and continue baking until the mustard is golden brown. Yummy!


(You can also make a quick sauce to serve on the side by mixing a half cup of Dijon mustard and 1/4 maple syrup).I need a yummy baked ham recipe for this evening.?
Whole or half ham, ready to eat


1/8 c. prepared mustard


3 tbsp. honey


Whole cloves


3/4 c. brown sugar





Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place 1 tablespoon flour in turkey size (19'; x 23 1/2';) oven bag for whole ham or in large size (14';x20';) oven bag for half ham. Place bag in 12';x8'; baking dish. Insert ham in bag, fat side up. Close bat with twist tie. Pierce bag 6 to 8 times on top. Bake 12 minutes per pound. Remove from oven 30 minutes before it is baked. Carefully slit bag down center and to sides to expose ham. Remove skin, if any, and score fat, diamond shaped, 1/4'; deep. Brush entire top of ham with mustard. Insert clove in each diamond. Cover generously with brown sugar. Drizzle with honey. Return to moderate oven, 375 degrees, for final half hour.


Microwave Oven: Follow directions above, using rubber band to close bag. Microwave on medium high (70% power) for 7 to 8 minutes per pound, adding glaze for final 10 minutes. Allow to stand, covered, 15 to 20 minutes before carving.



Do you have a whole ham or just slices? Most whole hams already have the glaze on them, are cooked and just need to be reheated ... actually ham slices are the same way, although you can BBQ the ham slices. ..... Good with baked sweet potatoes, a green salad with vignarette dressing, and a citrus/tropical fruit salad
HONEY BAKED HAM





1 (7 lb.) med. smoked pork picnic shoulder (bone in or out)


2 c. sugar


1 c. honey or brown sugar, packed


1 (6 oz.) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed


1 tsp. whole cloves





Make crosswise slits, 1/2 inch apart, halfway through ham to where knife touches bone. Place ham in deep bowl and barely cover with water. Stir in sugar. Soak at least 2 days in refrigerator. Drain.


Place ham in roasting pan, lined with enough foil to wrap completely. Pour honey or brown sugar and orange juice all over pork. Stick cloves all over meat. Wrap tightly with foil. Bake at 200 degrees for 6 to 7 hours or until done, unwrapping and basting occasionally with honey mixture. Unwrap and bake at 450 degrees about 15 minutes for slightly crisp skin.

LAYERED POTATO 'N HAM BAKE





1 packaged hash brown potatoes


4 c. very hot water


1 tsp. salt


1 can whole kernel corn, drained


1/3 c. chopped green peppers


1/3 c. chopped onion


1 c. cut up fully cooked, smoked ham


1 1/2 c. shredded process American cheese


1 c. milk


1/4 c. butter, melted


1 egg


1/3 c. Bisquick baking mix


1 tbsp. sugar


1/4 tsp. curry powder





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover potatoes with water in 2 1/2 quart bowl. Stir in salt, let stand uncovered 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Layer half each of the potatoes, corn, green peppers, onion, ham, and cheese in ungreased square pan, 9';x9';x2';; repeat. Mix milk, butter and egg. Beat in baking mix, sugar, pepper and curry powder until smooth; pour over top. Bake until top is golden brown and center is set, about 50 to 60 minutes. Serves 6.



I usually cook the ham as described, but I make a glaze of brown sugar and water. Mix it to your desired consistency and then continually brush ham as you cook it. Use the leftover glaze to put on more when it's done.
Rub Brown Sugar on the outside and bake it at 275 for 4 hours. The brown sugar caramelizes and its wounderfully moist.
Brush your ham with maple syrup prior to baking to make a really nice maple glazed ham.
