MMM...country glazed ham. Baked ham recipes just might be the perfect Sunday dinner.

Ham is easy to prepare and just cooks along while you tend to other things.

Baked ham is also one of the traditional holiday recipes for Easter and, for some families, Christmas.

Whenever you bake a honey baked ham or big old country ham, you know you are in for good eating for several days.

Hams come in so many forms that we have tried to provide directions for several kinds of baked ham recipes.

Sometimes you will find directions right on the packaging when you purchase your ham at the market. If not, follow our guidelines and the cooking table below.

And what is baked ham without the perfect glaze? Look here for our huge variety of ham glaze recipes.

Preheat oven to 325ºF.

Scrub the skin of the ham with cold water. Pat dry. Place the ham, fat side up, on a rack in a pan. Add a little water. Bake the ham according to the directions on the package or follow the table below.

You can stick a whole clove into each of the places where the cuts meet. Glaze ham with your favorite ham glaze recipes.

Bake the ham at 400ºF to brown and set the glaze.
