My ham was a success. I covered the pan with foil and a 1/2 cup of water in the pan. Cooked for 2 1/2 hours and it came out perfect. Now if I could just "cook" my SIL to come out perfect, my holiday would have been great. Ha, ha.

I do the precook end as well, but I rub about 2oz orange juice concentrate and about 1/2 tsp Ground cloves on the outside of the ham. I also cut the fat flap off. Wrap in foil cook at 275 for 12 minutes per pound. If I feel like a glaze I make a sauce with 4 TBsp brown sugar, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 2 TBsp mustard. Remove the foil and brush glaze on ham a couple of times during the last 30 minutes. You can add some of the orange concentrate and a 1/4 tsp ground clove to the glaze.

I was lazy but I did a really quick glaze sort of thing I added 1/2 cup Orange juice about 1/4 cup brown sugar and poured some pancake syrup over it stuck it in the oven for an hour while the scalloped potatoes cooked and it was very good!

A lady told me the other day she put pineapple on the on her ham and put it in cooking bag instead of putting foil on it. It was really moist and fell to pieces. Every one said it was so good.

Foil line a 9 x 13 cake pan

Add the ham, cut side down

Slice all around the ham (about 1/4") in a diamond pattern

Drizzle the juice of one can of sliced pineapples all over the ham (the slices above help the juice kind of get inside a bit)

Pat brown sugar all over the ham

Lay the pineapple slices on and all around the ham

Place in oven, uncovered, at 325 degrees. Bake 15 minutes for each 1 pound of ham.

This is a crowd favorite in our house. :)
