This Juicy Beer Baked Ham is the most addicting ham you’ll ever make. Beer in the roasting pan makes this oven baked ham turn out tender and juicy every time. So simple to make, just 5 minutes of prep time!
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 pound bone-in, half shank ham
- 3-4 cans beer (you want about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pan, so it depends on how big your roasting pan is)
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown mustard
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice (you can also use apple juice or cider)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Place the ham on a rack over a roasting pan, large enough to fit the ham. Pour in the beer until it comes up about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan. Cover the ham (and the whole pan) with aluminum foil and bake at 325 degrees for and hour and a half.
- While the ham is in the oven, make the glaze by whisking brown sugar together with pineapple juice and mustard.
- After an hour and a half, remove the ham from the oven and turn the oven temperature up to 375 degrees. Baste the ham with the juices from the bottom of the pan. Brush on the glaze, covering the whole ham. Return the ham to the oven, uncovered and cook for 15 minutes, baste and return to the oven again. Repeat the basting process every 15 minutes until the ham reaches 140 degrees.
- Remove the ham from the roasting pan onto a board and tent with foil for 15 minutes. Pour the juices from the roasting pan into a heat-proof bowl or measuring cup. After 15 minutes of resting, slice the ham and place onto a platter. Spoon off the grease from the top of the juices and discard. Pour the juice over the sliced ham and serve.
