BONE-IN HAM COOKED IN BEER



Bone-In Ham Cooked in Beer image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Look for a fully cooked ham with a bone-in for the best flavor.
  • Prep the ham: Remove the packaging and any labels from the ham. Rinse the ham under cold water and pat it dry.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the ham absorb the glaze or seasonings.
  • Season the ham: Rub the ham with your favorite seasonings. You can use a simple combination of salt and pepper, or you can get more creative with herbs, spices, and glazes.
  • Place the ham in a roasting pan: Add a cup of water or broth to the bottom of the pan to prevent the ham from drying out.
  • Cover the ham: Cover the ham with foil to keep it moist.
  • Bake the ham: Bake the ham in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 18 minutes per pound. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F.
  • Let the ham rest: Let the ham rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham.

Conclusion:

Boiling ham is a simple and easy way to cook a delicious and flavorful meal. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have a perfectly cooked ham that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner option, give boiled ham a try!
