How to Make Baked Ham A La Monte
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Place the ham in a large roasting pan.
- Score the ham's fat layer in a crosshatch pattern (about 1/4 inch deep).
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cloves, and pineapple juice.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the scored ham.
- Pour 1 cup of water or chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Bake for approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ham with the pan juices every 10 minutes.
- Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
