Open in Pepper →A ham is the rare thing you cook once and eat from for days. The first night it's the centerpiece, and by Wednesday it's diced into soup or tucked between rolls with a slice of Swiss.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when a holiday ham is coming out of the oven, when there's a bowl of leftovers in the fridge that needs a plan, or when sliders are the fastest way to feed a crowd.
Every recipe here does one of those two jobs. Brown Sugar Pineapple Baked Ham, Twice-smoked Ham, and Crockpot Ham handle the main event, while Scalloped Potatoes & Ham, Loaded Ham and Potato Soup, Slow Cooker Ham & Hashbrown Casserole, Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pockets, and Ham & Cheese Sliders take care of what's left.
Warm it, don't cook it
Most store hams are already fully cooked, so you're just heating through. Cover with foil at 325°F and pull it around 130-140°F in the thickest part.
Glaze at the end
Brush on brown sugar, honey, or pineapple juice during the last 20 to 30 minutes so the sugar caramelizes instead of scorching.
Save the bone
Drop the bone in a pot with water, onion, and a bay leaf and simmer 2 hours for a broth that makes ham and potato soup taste like Sunday.
Butter the tops of sliders
Melt 1/2 stick of butter with a little mustard and pour it over the rolls, then bake covered 15 minutes and uncovered 5 for a crisp top.
