BONE-IN HAM COOKED IN BEER
This is a recipe we have used for the past 5 years. The beer really tenderizes the ham. Using beer is probably a Wisconsin thing. We seem to find many uses for it. But don't worry, the ham will not taste like beer when it is done other than maybe a small hint on the bottom portions. I don't like beer at all, so I was quite skeptical at first, but when I found out that the ham I had at my friend's house for Christmas the year before had beer used to make it, I tried it and have been hooked ever since.

ROOT BEER HAM
Despite its regal countenance, a glazed holiday ham is surprisingly easy to cook - though "cook" is misleading here, as most supermarket hams already come fully cooked and just need to be heated through in the oven. Here, a bone-in half ham (try not to get the spiral-sliced kind, which can dry out easily) gently bakes in an aromatic pool of shallots, bay leaves and root beer, a variation on the Southern classic made with cola. The root beer braising liquid is reduced with brown sugar and Dijon into a sticky glaze that lacquers the scored ham with caramelized luster. Save the braising liquid and serve alongside to spoon onto slices for even more flavor and juiciness.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Using a sharp knife, make parallel cuts across the surface of the ham, about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart, then repeat in the opposite direction to create a diamond pattern.
- Place the ham in a deep, large roasting pan, cut side down, and pour the root beer over the ham. Add the shallots and bay leaves to the root beer in the roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake, basting once halfway through, until the ham is heated through (it's already cooked). The internal temperature should reach 135 degrees, about 15 minutes per pound (2 to 3 hours total).
- When the ham is done heating through, carefully remove from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Uncover the ham and ladle out 2 cups of the root beer braising liquid into a large skillet.
- To make the glaze, add the brown sugar, mustard and rice vinegar to the root beer in the skillet and bring to a boil, whisking occasionally and watching that it doesn't boil over. Cook until reduced significantly, syrupy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and drip off slowly, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Using a spoon or a brush, apply half of the glaze all over the surface of the ham. Bake, uncovered, until the glaze is bronzed, bubbling and gorgeous (but not burned), 8 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer the ham to a cutting board to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing thinly and serving with the extra glaze. Carefully pour the braising liquid into a gravy boat and serve alongside, as well.

ALWAYS JUICY BAKED HAM
A never-fail recipe that is a family favorite. Frequent basting during the cooking time is key to a delicious result. We can't help taking several tester bites while waiting for dinner to be ready. Makes great leftovers for sandwiches. A Maritime tradition with home-baked beans and bakery fresh bread. Also fantastic with potato scallop and buttered green beans.

BEER HAM
This recipe was given to me by mt Aunt Therese. She has been using the recipe since she was married. The ham is so moist and tender, and fragrant, just try it and see. You will need to remove it from the pocket with great care as it tends to fall apart!

Steps:
- Scar ham and prick with whole cloves.

- Put the ham in the pocket, mix remaining ingredients together, and pour over the ham, then seal the pocket.
- Place in a covered roasting pan, and bake at 400 degrees farenheit for approximately 1 hour per pound.
- Even better though, place sealed aluminum pocket in your slow cooker, and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- The slow cooker is my preferred method.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Ham: Select a high-quality ham that is fully cooked and bone-in for the best flavor and texture.
- Enhance the Beer Flavor: Use a flavorful beer that complements the ham, such as a malty amber ale, a crisp pilsner, or a rich stout.
- Create a Flavorful Glaze: Combine brown sugar, honey, and spices like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a glaze that will caramelize and add a delicious crust to the ham.
- Don't Overcook the Ham: Ham is already fully cooked, so the goal is to warm it through and allow the flavors to meld. Overcooking can dry out the ham.
- Let the Ham Rest: After baking, allow the ham to rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute and results in a more tender and flavorful ham.
