Answer 1

This one is pretty good.
COPYCAT HONEY BAKED HAM

1 (7 lb.) med. smoked pork picnic shoulder (bone in or out)
2 c. sugar
1 c. honey or brown sugar, packed
1 (6 oz.) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 tsp. whole cloves

Make crosswise slits, 1/2 inch apart, halfway through ham to where knife touches bone. Place ham in deep bowl and barely cover with water. Stir in sugar. Soak at least 2 days in refrigerator. Drain.
Place ham in roasting pan, lined with enough foil to wrap completely. Pour honey or brown sugar and orange juice all over pork. Stick cloves all over meat. Wrap tightly with foil. Bake at 200 degrees for 6 to 7 hours or until done, unwrapping and basting occasionally with honey mixture. Unwrap and bake at 450 degrees about 15 minutes for slightly crisp skin.

OLD SOUTHERN RECIPE BAKED HAM

8-10 lb. smoked shank or butt
1 tsp. cloves, ground
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 (12 oz.) Cocoa Cola
Aluminum foil

GLAZE:

4 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. rum (opt.)
Cloves, allspice & nutmeg

Place enough aluminum foil in baking pan to completely cover ham. Place ham on foil. Pour Coke over ham. Mix the spices and rub all over ham. Seal the foil. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes per pound.
Remove ham from pan. Discard aluminum foil. Remove all but 1/2" of fat. Score ham by making slits through fat. Mix the same spices as above (cloves, allspice, nutmeg, brown sugar) with the glazing ingredients. Heat this to a liquid. Spoon this over ham as thickly as you can. It will be thicker if made a few minutes ahead and allowed to cool.

Return ham to oven for another 20 to 30 minutes, uncovered, being careful not to burn.

Good luck, and enjoy!

Answer 2

Ham and Bean soup is great.
1 lb of white beans - Canellini or Great Northern
2 quarts of water
2-3 lbs of ham shanks (preferred to ham hocks because the shanks have more meat),
each shank cut into 2 or 3 sections
1 cup of diced onions
1 cup chopped celery
2/3 cup chopped carrots
2 cloves garlic, diced
Tabasco sauce
Salt and pepper
Herbes de Provence
Fresh parsley

Soak the beans in at least 2 quarts of cold water for about 2 hrs. Drain the water.

Put the ham shank pieces in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about an hour. Add the chopped vegetables and beans. Cook for another hour, until the vegetables are soft and the ham meat easily pulls away from the bone.

Add several drops of Tabasco to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of herbes de Provence. Serve with a pinch of chopped fresh parsley.

Answer 3

1 ham
1 lb brown sugar
1/2 cup yellow mustard
aluminum foil

In a medium size mixing bowl, mix yellow mustard and brown sugar until you have a thick"paste".
Take all wrappers off of ham and trim away excess fat.
Line baking pan (I spray with Pam in case some of the brown sugar mixture escapes, clean up is easier) with Aluminum foil.
Place ham on foil and spread brown sugar/mustard paste on top.
Fold and seal foil.
Do not open again until ham is done.
Bake at 350° for 4 hours.
Let set for about 1 hr then carve.
One of the best tasting hams you will ever have!

Answer 5

My grandmother used to boil it (not too much water) with dried apples, called schnitz, until tender, then take out the ham and drop dumpling dough on the water, and you have schnitz und knepp.

Answer 6

Bake it with a can of pineapple with the juice, some brown sugar and cinnamon.
