Answer 3

If you have a ham with natural juices in the plastic, remove the ham, rinse off some of the oil,and let it drain for 5 minutes. After
you do that cut a slit along the top of the ham about 2 inches
deep, and add the natural juices. Roast in the ham for about
2 hours.

Answer 5

I would bake it at 325 degrees covered with aluminum foil. I generally cook it 20 to 30 minutes per pound. If you have a real baking dish with a cover use that and add about one to two cups of water. I would recommend to get a good Country Ham and they usually have cooking Tips on the packaging. Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

Place ham into a large crockpot (preheat crockpot for 15 minutes)
Poke holes in ham
Pour juice from large can of pinapple over ham
Cover and let cook on high for approximately 6 hours

I love this because you don't have to keep watching it and it frees up the oven for potatoes, rolls, etc. Enjoy.
