Father's Center & End Sliced Country Ham

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb. Father’s Center & End Sliced Country Ham
  • Fresh rosemary for garnish
  • Honey or maple syrup (for glazing, optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • Whole grain mustard (for serving)
  • Your favorite bread or dinner rolls

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Remove the ham from its packaging and place it in a roasting pan with the cut side facing down. This will help keep it juicy.
  3. If you choose to glaze your ham, lightly brush the surface with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. This will caramelize beautifully, enhancing the ham’s flavors.
  4. Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the ham for a hint of spice. Feel free to add more spices if you like!
  5. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, making sure to seal it well to retain moisture.
  6. Bake the ham for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). If glazed, remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
  7. Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping each slice succulent and flavorful.
  8. Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve with whole grain mustard on the side. Pair it with your favorite bread or dinner rolls for a perfect meal!

Enjoy this delightful dish with family and friends, and watch the compliments roll in as they savor each delicious bite of Father’s Center & End Sliced Country Ham!
