Baked Ham

Hi Friends, I'm sharing how to make your basic, Baked Ham recipe that you can use for Christmas, Easter, any holiday or gathering, or even for a weeknight dinner!

It's so great to know how to cook a ham because it's like the dinner that keeps giving, there's usually plenty of ham to make ham sandwiches, ham for breakfast, ham soup, ham salad, ham pizza - you name it!

What holiday do you remember having Baked Ham at? For me, there was usually one at Christmas (in addition to a Beef Roast) and definitely at Easter.

After starting a family, I see the value of having ham on a non-holiday day/week because it just stretches, feeding your family for days! I've come up with so many ham recipes using up a baked ham.

Ham goes great with my Honey Mustard Sauce recipe!
