Christmas Ham Recipe
Thanksgiving has passed, the turkey leftovers are being devoured, and soon the memory will be swept away in a whirl of holiday cheer. If you’re looking for a great way to celebrate Christmas dinner without reliving the 8-hour cooking job that Thanksgiving calls for, check out this great ham recipe that’s ready in no time.
What you’ll need:
1 fully-cooked ham, spiral cut
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup apricot jam
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. While your oven preheats, mix together your brown sugar, apricot jam and mustard powder in a bowl and brush it onto the cooked ham using a barbeque brush. Wrap your ham in foil and place it in the oven. Cook for about 14 minutes per pound of ham, so a 10-pound ham would be 2 hours and 20 minutes. If you have any remaining glaze, apply it to the ham after cooking to ensure maximum taste.
If you like spicy food, or just want to give your ham a little kick, adding some pepper flakes for a little heat is a sure-fire success. The best part is that the recipe is easy to make, and requires very little maintenance. Simply toss the ham in the oven and begin cooking your side dishes. Pair this ham with a leafy green vegetable, mashed potatoes and rolls for a Christmas feast your family is sure to love.
