Beer Baked Ham

And comes Easter, my memories include the ever present baked ham, usually in a beer, mustard and brown sugar glaze. The meal was alway sided with scalloped potatoes, deviled eggs, hot fresh rolls and butter.
These days, I’m reluctant to roast an entire ham, but a good fully cooked spiral ham is well within the sphere of possibilities.
The cooking liquid is vibrant and flavorful, so one might reduce that down or thicken with a bit of cornstarch to produce a wonderful gravy for drizzling over the meat or to top an open-faced sandwich.
The meat remaining from the meal can produce many follow-on dishes, from sandwiches to ham salad, or maybe even a western omelet the following morning.
Do make sure you are using a FULLY-COOKED ham and that in the baking process, you bring it to an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
