Baked Ham {Great Grandmother's Recipe}
Traditionally Baked Ham at our house growing up was served for special occasions like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. My Mother-in-law always cooked her hams low and slow, and she never put a glaze on it. 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, and the end result was melt in your mouth. Her secret to cooking an amazing ham was to add water to the pan, cover with foil and baste with the ham juices occasionally during the cooking, approximately every 30 minutes. Pure Deliciousness!
