Whenever I eat dinner at a certain friends house I always make sure to pay extra close attention to what she does in the kitchen. Not because I'm nosey or a trying to see what her super-secret recipes are but because she is an award winning chef who cooks for one of the best restaurants in the area.
Okay- so maybe I'm also trying to see what her super-secret recipes are.
She makes cooking look effortless and simple. As if she was simply born with a Rolodex of recipes committed to memory. I half expected to hear that her first words were caramelized or whisk.
That night our discussion quickly turned to Easter Dinner and the inevitable ham that everyone would be cooking and she laughed when I started telling her how I was going to prepare mine. “Why are you doing it the hard way? Here let me show you”
When she was done- I was floored. There is no way it's that easy but alas again she was right and I was wrong.
Want to know what her secret was? Keep reading for the instructions that she gave me and trust me I will never cook another ham any other way again.
Oh the giggles this gave me – I am 80 and this was the way my mother did it.
Mmm ham gravy is the best
Yep…I cook mine that way….also bake turkey ina butteed paper bag.
Pepsi and brown sugar
Ginger ale. Basting.

No next pages, thx.
This is also how I do turkeys but one does need to do the seasonings and butter, prior. They come out beautifully; brown and juicy!
I did this years ago.Also do to turkey
O
The cockroaches and their eggs that sometimes are present in paper grocery sacks, will add flavor to this style of ham cooking 😉
This is how I leaned to bake a good ham (brown sugar & mustard basting). Don’t use brown bag anymore (not long ago, tho). Thanks Bobbie!
Where is the recipe? It never did show.
