Growing up , Baked ham was traditionally served at our house for special occasions like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. SPECIAL OCCASION BAKED HAM My Mother-in-law always cooked her hams low and slow, and she never put a glaze on them. Instead, she used the ham juices to baste with. Jim's Mother's recipe for baked ham was relatively easy and yielded an absolutely delicious result. This is because she cooked her ham low and slow in the oven without adding a glaze, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth ham. Her secret to cooking an amazing ham was to add water to the pan, cover it with foil, and baste it with the ham juices occasionally during cooking, approximately every 30 minutes. Pure Deliciousness!
