This had been my mom's. It's not that old, I don't think...it was made in China and is not Corning Ware. |
Take one large ham...this was around 8 pounds and way too big for the dish and more than we'd eat, so I cut it in, and only used, half.
Follow these directions.
The ham halves. Beautiful ham. |
Covered and in the oven. Ahem, see, didn't I tell you the inside of this oven became quite dirty during my many absences and I've yet to clean it. I wonder if the 'set a dish of ammonia in it overnight' process will work so that it can just be wiped out? Anyone ever try that?
I split the current sauce that came packaged with the ham in two also.
Sealed it up with a clip and bagged it and the other half ham and put in the freezer for another meal. In hindsight, I probably should have cut this ham into three or four separate pieces.
I almost forgot to take a picture after it was baked. We'd already eaten our dinner portions by this point. We've eaten quite a bit, and yes, I've ignored the "once opened, use within 3 to 5 days". Boxed scalloped potatoes and canned corn rounded out this meal. I heated the corn in the microwave...oops...can't run both at the same time, had to go out and flip the circuit breaker back on!
One night I took some leftover ham and diced it up, put some butter in a cast iron skillet, added the ham, some onion, some diced up raw cauliflower and sauteed till veggies tender, then scrambled up 3 eggs and added to the skillet along with some grated cheddar, letting it cook for awhile and then flipping it to finish cooking. Oh was that ever yummy.
Thanks for the inspiration. I am not very creative when it comes to ham, usually get the pre-sliced hunks and just warm up. I think I'll look for something like yours.
