Anna Nurse's Baked Smoked Ham Recipe - Cooking Index
Here is one of the most famous ham recipes anywhere, from Anna Amandolara Nurse, a truly lovely lady, generous and kind, and one of the greatest cooking teachers of all time.
Cuisine: Italian| Smoked ham - (abt 12 to 18 lbs) (large) | ||
| Whole cloves - as needed | ||
| 3 cups | 711ml | Pineapple juice |
| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Dark brown sugar |
| 1 | Dark corn syrup - (16 oz) |
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan. Score the fat and stud it completely with cloves. Pour the pineapple juice over the ham and bake for 12 minutes per pound.
After 1 1/2 hours, remove the ham from the oven and carefully pat the brown sugar on top, completely covering the top of the ham. Gently pour the corn syrup over the ham, being careful not to disturb the sugar covering. Continue baking, basting every 15 minutes.
When the ham has baked its allotted time, remove it from oven and continue basting until it is cooled -- this gives it a beautiful glaze. The remaining syrup can be used again over a side dish such as yams, butternut squash, or sweet potatoes if you are serving the ham hot as a main dish. Otherwise, it can be left on the sideboard or kitchen counter at room temperature during the day for snacking purposes, then stored in the refrigerator for several days.
