This Picnic Ham with Orange Glaze is the perfect Easter ham or dinner any time of the year. Includes simple directions on how to score, baste and cook a picnic shoulder.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/176 degrees C.Remove netting! Then place picnic ham on a large roasting pan or baking dish, fat side up. Pour ¾ cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish.
Cover roasting pan with foil and bake in the oven for 1 hour. This allows the rind to be removed easily. Meanwhile, make the glaze.
After baking for 1 hour, take the ham out of the oven and remove the foil. Peel off the rind from the ham and discard. The rind will be hot, so I used tongs. If desired, you can trim some of the fat off the fat cap, but I usually leave a lot of it on the ham. This is what it will look like.
Orange Glaze:
While the ham is cooking, whisk all the glaze ingredients together in bowl or pourable measuring cup (I prefer to do this so I can pour it right onto the ham)
Scoring; Cut cross check slits into the fat and about ½ inch into the meat of the ham. * I cut a little deeper but it was nice because it really soaks up the flavor!
Pour â…” of the glaze over the ham.
Bake for another 2 hours, uncovered. BUT baste it with the remaining glaze after 1 hour, then again after 30 minutes, dividing the remaining glaze between the two basting sessions.* Use a BBQ basting type brush ( in photo) to ensure you get in the slits, You can use a pastry brush too!
Once done, let the ham rest for about 5-10 minutes after you take it out of the oven, then carve the ham into preferred serving slices. * I like it a little thicker.
Serve with scalloped potatoes and veggies or whatever else you desire.
