The Best Way to Heat Prepared Ham - Mama Mancini's Recipes

Ingredients My glaze recipe: All mixed together and melted in a pan on low heat for 2 minutes. 1/2 cup real maple syrup1/2 cup brown sugar2 tbs Dijon mustard1 tsp ground cinnamon1 tsp ground nutmeg1 tbs bourbon Directions 1 Let the ham sit out at room temperature for one hour. 2 Then I unwrap the ham and place it in an oven turkey bag, squeeze out all the air, and tie the bag tight. I take a huge pot and place the ham in it with the tied end facing out. It’s important to be sure you tie this very tight–I double-knot mine. 3 Then I fill the pot with hot water from the sink, 120 degrees. I let it sit for 15 minutes, then empty and replace the water with super hot water again. I now do this every 30 minutes for 2 hours. Here is what happens: the ham will come to a warm temperature without sitting in a hot oven for hours drying out. At the end of the 2 hours, the ham will be about 90-100 degrees. Now we are in 3 hours. 4 I remove the ham from the bag and place it in a roasting pan, glaze it, and put it into a 400-degree oven for 30-45 min until I am happy with the glaze, spooning the glaze over it a couple of times (see my glaze recipe below). 5 I remove the ham, cover it tightly with foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes (it will continue to heat) before I carve it. I am telling you it comes out so moist and delicious! Hams are very expensive, and nothing is more annoying than starting out with a delicious ham and ending up with a dried-out tasteless ham!
