Holiday Ham
 

Cook ahead and have for the occasion:

1 - cooks or your choice butt ham
2 - large tins for holding and cooking ham - I like the rec water catering trays
1 - Reynolds Kitchens turkey size oven bags
1 - bottle of real maple syrup
1 - large pot to boil ham

- place ham in pot and cover with reg tap water - boil until but bone is showing
about 1 inch out of the meat - about 2 hours when water starts to boil good
lower the stove temp and roll the meat in the water
- remove ham to a large carving station and let cool for thirty minutes
- coat ham well ( WELL ) with brown sugar - about 1 packed cup
- place ham in oven bag with 3 cups of the water that the ham was boiled in (don't ) rinse the sugar off the ham
- pour 2 cups of maple syrup over the ham (right over the brown sugar)

- cut 4 - 5 small slices in the top of the bag before sealing end

- place in pre-heated 340 degree oven for about 1 hour

- After 1 hour the bag should be expanded

IMPORTANT STEP
- use heat res glove to grab the end of the bag neat tie - slightly lift and quick flip to send the juice aver the ham - neat way to baste without ruining the bag. Continue to do this process ever 20 minutes ( at least 3 more times '

I carve the ham and place meat in a large crock pot then cover with about 4 cups of the liquid from the bag. Store in refrig and start heating about 2 hours prior to eating.

You will be satisfied
