The Glade 4.0

I'm looking at preparing a honey glazed ham for christmas this year. Last year when I attempted the recipe I found that while the outside 1.5 inches of ham was yummy, the inside got too salty. So I was wondering if any one has any suggestions as to what I could boil the ham in this year. (Last year I just let it soak in water for about a day)

I have seen suggestions of gingerael, however I don't particularly like the taste of ginger. Would watered down pineapple juice do the job?

Also I've seen recipes with Maple syrup, as we don't really have that here, is this something worth hunting down? Or will honey do the job as well?

Thank you for all your help in advance. I can't remember if I posted this in the last board, but I can't find it now that I need it again.

How long did you soak your ham? You need to soak it for like 3 or 4 days, and water is fine. Change the water every 8-12 hours.
After the salt is out, Dr.Pepper works really well to baste it with.

My mother isn't either, I love the stuff.

Go figure.

Like LK said, though I'e never tried Dr. Pepper as a baste or glaze. I've been fine with basting it with its own drippings or a brown sugar, dark beer and cloves mix an old roommate invented. A honey-lemon or teriyaki glaze as the late glaze.

Of course, the Weber relatively spherical BBQ is the best ham cooker known to the American male.

Buy pre-cooked, forget about it.

Really, ham is far more trouble than what it is worth to me. I really don't care for it.

Wow 3-4 days? I don't know if I have the time for that... would boiling it help reduce the time?



I use brown sugar, honey, white wine, and pine apple juice to soak the ham in for the initial baking (I'm not a clove person), and honey, lemon, mustard glaze for glazing.



Hehe ham is pre-cooked I'm merely recooking it =P

I host a christmas dinner every year and it's kinda being tradition for the past 4-5 years where I cook (instead of mum). My friends usually bring the alcohol, desert, salad, and other goodies. Last year we tried out the frozen vodka water mellon trick, none of us remember the result =P

I'm still fairly new to baking ham as there is just too much of it and can only really be done during the big holidays.

well I can't sleep anyways, so umm... I'm planning my christmas party instead hehe =P

At least there will be alcohol and meat, what more could you want?

Works for me!
