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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
