Baked Country Ham

My Grandpa used to cure and smoke hams and I remember going in the smoke house with him when he would check the hams. The gentle stream of that smoke traveling up through the ham was a wonderful smell and a precious memory of spending time with my Grandpa. This recipe for country ham is just that. A Country Ham that my Grandmother may have cooked right out of the smoke house and then put on the table for a special family meal. Our family loves ham and it is the meat that just keeps on giving. There are so many meals that one can have from one Country Ham.

Let It Set For 10 Minutes and Slice
