Recipe Baked Fresh Ham with Sherry Baste Amish Recipes

Remove rind from ham, Season with salt and pepper. Place in a roaster pan, bone side down, and with a sharp knife score the top in a diamond design. Add the water and tent with heavy foil. Bake at 350° F. in a preheated oven for approx. 4 hours, or until the ham is tender and pulls away from the bone. Every 30 minutes baste the ham with sherry. Save the brownings in the pan for gravy. Deglaze the pan by adding several cups of water and reheating the pan. Thicken by adding a paste of flour, arrowroot, or cornstarch dissolved in cold water. Save any leftover meat as a cold cut, or stir-fry with fresh vegetables.

Serves 8-12

1 fresh ham
2 T. salt
1 t. pepper
3 cups water
2 cups sherry
