EASY MOIST HAM
I made this ham for Christmas this year. It was delicious! It's very easy to do and my family loved the crunchiness of the crust baked on it. It was very moist. I watched for hams to go on sale and bought a spiral cut 1/2 ham since we only have 5 people (adults). We had enough for leftover sandwiches and then I made a pea soup too!

Steps:
- Foil line a lipped baking sheet.
- Place the ham with the large side down on the foil.
- Mix the applesauce, brown sugar and mustard in a bowl and then use your hands to cover the ham all the way around.
- Cover ham with foil.
- Put it into a 350 degree oven at 350 degrees for 14 minutes per pound.
- After it's done cooking (about an hour for a 4 lb ham), take off the foil and use your hands to cover the ham again in the sauce. Lather it on their well to create a crust.
- Bake some more until the crust is crispy.
- When done, let the ham rest for about 1/2 an hour.
- Then spoon the pan drippings in between the slices for more goodly sweetness.
- Serve while warm --I served it with cheesy mashed potatoes with sour cream and chives and cheese and brocolli. (My family are cheese-aholics).
- Served with some warned up buns from the baker and sweet cream salted butter.
- Enjoy!
- Save the leftovers for ham sandwiches (I just left it in the fridge and people made what they wanted with leftover ham and rolls.).
- Take the end part of the ham and put it in a big (like a tamale pan) pot, add carrotts, onions, peas and chicken stock to cover. Add some spices that you like (I put in some ginger and salsa--Mrs. Dash and salt and pepper). We ate that with rolls for Christmas dinner after going to the movies all day.
- So, three meals in one ham! Total cost for all three meals for 5 people was less than $10. Including purchasing all the ingredients (except spices, carrots and onions I had on hand).
- This'd be a great Easter recipe too!

Tips:
- To ensure a juicy and flavorful ham, choose a bone-in ham with a thick layer of fat. The bone helps to distribute the heat evenly, while the fat adds moisture and flavor.
- Soak the ham in a mixture of water, brown sugar, and spices for at least 8 hours or overnight. This will help to enhance the flavor of the ham.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) before baking the ham. This will help to create a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside moist.
- Place the ham in a baking bag before baking. This will help to trap the moisture and prevent the ham from drying out.
- Bake the ham for 18-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
- Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will help to redistribute the juices and prevent the ham from drying out.
- Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, and a sweet glaze.
Conclusion:
