Directions
Mississippi Baked Ham,My partner’s family is from Mississippi, and this is their recipe for Easter ham. I don’t like ham at all, but I thought this was ok. Any ham-lover would adore this recipe, I think. Posted here mostly for safe-keeping, as I’ll be making it every year.,Great ham ..with great results. and with plenty leftover, loved the flavor. Made this though used some cherry cola for the cola. Used 20 cloves on this too. Very easy recipe, and if there is ham on sale where you are, you might consider giving this a shot. I did buy a 7 pound ham, so I adjusted the cooking time a little.

Bake, Covered, For 15-20 Minutes Per Pound or Until Internal Temperature Reaches 135-145°f (cooking These Big Chunks of Meat Always Takes Me Longer Than the Packaging Says- a Probe Thermometer Really Helps Here). Baste Every 20 Minutes or So. Halfway Through the Cooking Time, Remove Foil and Stick the Pineapple Slices Onto the Ham With Toothpicks. Put a Maraschino Cherry in Each Pineapple Slice Hole, Also With a Toothpick. Continue Baking, Uncovered, and Don't Forget to Baste. |
