HOW TO COOK WHOLE BONELESS HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the ham from the packaging and place it into a large baking dish. Pour the water in the dish with the ham.
• Cover the dish with foil or a lid. Allow the ham to cook covered for about an hour, about 15 minutes per pound.
• Now, you can stop there, this will heat the ham through, and since it's already cooked, you can eat it. However, it's much better to add a glaze.
• Make the glaze by mixing together the butter, brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, ground cloves, allspice, and the pinch of salt.
• Pull the ham out of the oven and drain out the water. Brush the top and sides of the ham with one third of the glaze mixture.
• Put the ham back into the oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and add another third of the glaze. Put it back into the oven for 10 more minutes. Remove it from the oven and add the final third of the glaze. Bake for a final 10 minutes uncovered.
• Remove the ham from the oven, and let it rest, uncovered, for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

PINEAPPLE BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED BONELESS HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the ham on a cutting board. Using a sharp paring knife, score the top and sides in a diagonal crosshatch pattern about 1/4 inch deep. Push the cloves into the ham if using, placing them at the intersections of the cuts. Put the ham, scored side-up, on a rack set in a roasting pan.
• Drain the pineapple rings, reserving the juice. Arrange the sliced pineapple all over the ham, securing with toothpicks. Add a maraschino cherry to the center of each pineapple slice and secure with a toothpick.
• Pour 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan and tent the ham loosely with foil. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the honey, brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, syrupy and reduced to about 3 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Uncover the ham and carefully brush a third of the glaze all over. If the water in the roasting pan has evaporated, add more. Bake the ham for 15 minutes more. Brush with another third of the glaze and bake for 15 minutes more. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and cook until the glaze is shiny and the skin is dark golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

CARVED BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place ham in a roasting pan, preferably with a rack. Roast uncovered to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F as measured with an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Remove the rind except for the part around the bone end and slash slits in the fat. Combine mustard, honey, and brown sugar, and brush over the surface. Return the ham to the oven and bake to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let rest before carving.
