How to Cook Your Shults Farm Holiday Ham 🐖🎄
Cooking a Shults Farm ham is simple and rewarding! Here’s a foolproof guide to ensure your holiday centerpiece is juicy, flavorful, and tender.
What You’ll Need
- Shults Farm Ham (fully cooked or fresh, bone-in or boneless)
- Your favorite glaze (e.g., honey, brown sugar, maple syrup, or fruit preserves)
- Aluminum foil
- Roasting pan
1️⃣ Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the Ham:
- Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan.
- Add 1/2 to 1 cup of water, apple juice, or pineapple juice to the pan to keep the ham moist.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
3️⃣ Heat the Ham: - Bake for 10–15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
4️⃣ Optional Glaze: - During the last 20–30 minutes, remove the foil and brush the ham with your glaze.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to caramelize the glaze, basting every 10 minutes.
Tips for Success
- Scoring: Lightly score the fat in a crisscross pattern to allow the glaze to penetrate.
- Basting: Baste periodically with pan juices or additional glaze for extra flavor.
- Serving: Slice thinly against the grain for the juiciest pieces.
Pair your Shults Farm ham with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a festive salad for a memorable holiday meal. Enjoy! 🎅🍽️
