WHAT IS VIRGINIA HAM RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine thyme, rosemary, tarragon, and lavender. Place ham in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Rub herbs all over ham and set aside until ham reaches room temperature, 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake ham until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reaches 155°F, 2 to 2-1/2 hours (about 25 minutes per pound). Transfer ham to a wire rack. Tent ham loosely with aluminum foil and let stand until the center of ham registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes more. Meanwhile, skim and discard fat from pan drippings. Transfer defatted drippings to a small saucepan, add chicken stock, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm until serving. Once ham has rested, transfer to a cutting board, carve, and serve with jus on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ham in a heavy roasting pan.
• Mince the garlic in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the chutney, mustard, brown sugar, orange zest, and orange juice and process until smooth. Pour the glaze over the ham and bake for 1 hour, until the ham is fully heated and the glaze is well browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.
