Barham Family Farm Baked Ham With Glaze

Easter is right around the corner!

To help celebrate, Barham Family Farm is offering a limited supply of holiday hams. The spiral sliced delicacy is part of our pasture-raised pork program. Our average ham this year is 11 to 12 pounds and priced at $4.85 per pound.

Never baked a fresh ham?

It’s easy, and Annette Barham graciously agreed to share her favorite orange-spice glaze recipe to help make your ham extra-special, but if you’re looking for an even easier way to add flavor without the fuss, pick up a few jars of Beautiful Day Farm jams and jellies while you’re at the store and go the heat-and-serve route instead.

Pick yours up your Easter dinner supplies at The Store 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 14, 15 and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 16.

Basic Easter Ham

Makes 1 ham

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Remove all packaging and place ham in a shallow flat/face side down in a roasting pan. Cover roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes per pound until the internal temperature on a meat thermometer is 145 degrees; BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCOOK!

Remove ham from oven and let stand for 20-30 minutes. Remove foil and turn ham on its side. CAUTION: Ham will be hot; use utensils to turn ham.
