Easter Baked Ham

I’m not sure, but I think my mom must have stayed up most of the night before Easter Sunday.

Because when we came yawning down the stairs for breakfast,

the smell of baked ham greeted us halfway down.

She had the ham out of the oven

so she could carve it (or pull the bone out and let the rest of the meat fall apart,

that’s how tender it was) and forget about it till lunch time.

I’m not going to pretend to know how to bake a ham like that.

I can’t bake a spiral sliced ham and I can’t get honey-baked ham as tender as hers was.

I just can’t do ham, the way my mother can (could), Sam I am.

(And don’t say anything about Dr. Seuss. It still happens on Mulberry Street for me.)

So if you’re looking for an Easter Baked Ham recipe, it’s not here.

I will share one awesome tip for baking a bone in ham:

Pour a can of coke into the roaster for baking. It gives it that

old-fashioned dark ham look

that so many people associate with baked ham. And tastes so good.

Now we’re getting to the recipe.

Well, that’s how bloggers do it right? They make you read about your mom

and grandma and aunts and sisters and cousins

who all cook divinely

before they give you the recipe.

That, my dear reader, is half the fun of cooking, anyway.

The stories.

If a recipe doesn’t have a story it isn’t as much fun to make and doesn’t taste half as good.

I don’t know which “Aunt” gave me this recipe.

The best part is, it works well with your coke-infused baked ham,

because you serve this glaze at the dinner table with the sliced (chunked) ham.

Note: The perfect small saucepan is wide and shallow. Because, as my mother taught me, you save electricity by covering the whole element with your pot. That way no heat escapes uselessly into the air around the pot.
