Tips:

  • To ensure a juicy and flavorful ham, choose one with a bone-in and a fat cap of at least 1/4 inch.
  • Soak the ham in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight before baking. This helps to remove excess salt and moisture.
  • Bake the ham at a low temperature of 325°F (163°C) for 18-20 minutes per pound. This slow and low cooking method helps to keep the ham moist and tender.
  • Baste the ham every 30 minutes with its own juices or a mixture of pineapple juice, brown sugar, and honey. This helps to keep the ham moist and flavorful.
  • Allow the ham to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender ham.

Conclusion:

Baked Virginia ham is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its tender, juicy meat and flavorful glaze, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. By following these simple tips, you can create a delicious and memorable baked Virginia ham that everyone will love.
