- Ingredients
- Erin Farms Picnic Ham Shoulder with Bone
- NO BONELESS HAM
- NO LEG HAM
- 1 Large Onion
- Brown Sugar
- Cloves
- 1 tblsp Mustard
- Orange Juice
- 2 tblsp Honey
- Special Utensils
- Roaster
- Aluminium foil
- Paper towels
- Instructions
- Thaw ham by leaving in refrigerator from the night before
- Preheat oven to 350 (176 C)
- Open Ham, remove plastic, remove cloth material
- Wipe Ham to dry it on all sides
- This helps the ham to bake better, and gets rid of the smelliness from the cloth
- Line roaster with aluminium foil
- Crinkle the foil a bit to get an uneven surface so the ham does not stick as easily
- Brush some oil on the surface to prevent sticking - be generous
- Cut the onion into large pieces, about an inch thick
- Line the bottom of the pan with rough cut onions
- Rest the ham on top of it
- The onions will turn into nothing, and will help prevent the ham from sticking, and the bottom from burning, and also smell and taste amazing at the end
- Put ham in roaster, skin side up, with lid on
- Put roaster in oven for 4 hours (3hrs for boneless, last time it came out undercooked at 2.5 hrs)
- I estimate 30 mins per pound
- I usually just leave for at least 4 hrs, until it smells good, then you know it's time
- After 1.5 hours, Take the roaster out, remove the top layer of skin and any excess fat
- Keep all of this for future use
- Score the ham to make a # pattern
- Stick a clove in each square
- Mix orange juice(Orange concentrate also work really well), mustard, and honey or sugar in equal parts to make about 1/4 cup of glaze
- Add a couple cloves for more clovey flavor in the glaze
- Try to get a gooey glaze if possible, use less orange juice
- Microwave it for a minute or so to get it thicker if necessary so it sticks to the ham, and doesn't run off
- Generally, try to glaze twice 30 mins and15mins before ham is done as the glaze will tend to burn after 15 mins
- Brush over ham - Turn down to 300 if bottom is burning and all liquid is gone
- Put it back in the oven, lid off for another 15 mins
- Eyeball it to see how the glaze looks
- When its all melty and golden brown and smelling really nice, it's ready
- Keep re-glazing every 15-30 mins until all the glaze is used, about 3 times
- Spoon as much of the drippings back over the ham as possible
- Take the ham out, let it cool for a couple hours
- Remove the cloves
- Slice up the ham into thin slices
- I like to slice up the whole thing and keep it in containers
- You can freeze whatever you can't eat immediately, it will last forever if you wrap it in cling wrap first so the meat itself is not exposed to any air
- THE SKIN
- Scrape off as much fat as you can
- Cut it up into bite size strips
- Put the whole thing into the air fryer at 350 for 10 mins
- Look at it, it should be dried out, not wet
- Then 400 for 10 mins
- If you smell burning or look at it and it's dark, take it out
