Growing up, few holiday family feasts were complete without a beautiful baked ham. That is why I want to show you how to bake a ham shank in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As an adult, though, I primarily cooked ham steaks<\/a> up until last year. My family was at a gathering at the home of Aunt Beulah, my husband Reggie\u2019s aunt. Her ham was one of the best ones that I had ever tasted so I asked her how to make a glazed ham in the oven.

When asked, she responded, \u201cI don\u2019t have a recipe.\u201d Since she is originally from the south, I was not surprised so I took out my phone and recorded her telling me how she prepared it. I made some changes to her directions (leaving out the cloves and changing her syrup, brown sugar and water glaze) but I kept the preparation instructions the same for how to bake a ham shank in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sauce for the baked ham recipe, I use the ingredients from a (now archived)\u201cHoney and Brown Sugar Ham Glaze\u201d recipe from my friend Dawn\u2019s PartyBluPrints.com<\/em> <\/a>site.

Many people prefer to glaze their ham during the entire time that the ham is baking or at the last 30 minutes of the ham cooking while turning the oven heat up to a higher temperature. I like sweet ham, so I do both and have a double glazed ham. It has now become one of my most popular holiday dishes and everyone (who eats pork) looks forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
