Easter isn't that far away so I thought I'd share this recipe from my recently procured Amish Lancaster County cookbook. Â Very interesting baking technique which probably releases some amazing flavor, first the instructions:
Let ham reach room temperature and then place in a roast pan at 325. Â Do NOT add water and do not cover. Â Bake for 2 1 /2 hours. Â Then peel off skin if there is any and score the fat. Â Stud with whole cloves and sprinkle with 4 tablespoons brown sugar. Â Bake at 400 to allow browning slightly and bake until nearly soft.
Remove from pan and slice. Â Put back into pan and pour sauce over ham. Â Bake 30 - 40 minutes longer.
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1 /2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Stir together ingredients in a sauce pan and heat well.
- Pour over ham and bake 30 - 40 minutes.
