 Simple Baked Smoked Ham Recipe

Ingredients:

- 3 lb smoked Tyner Pond Farm ham (fully cooked) - 1 cup water or broth - Foil for covering

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (160°C). 2. Prepare the Ham: Place the ham in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Optionally, score the surface lightly to let flavors penetrate more deeply. 3. Add Moisture: Pour water or broth into the pan to keep the ham moist. 4. Cover and Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). 5. Optional Keto Glaze: For a light keto-friendly glaze, brush with a mix of mustard, monk fruit sweetener, and a little vinegar in the last 10-15 minutes of baking, removing the foil to allow caramelization. 6. Rest and Slice: Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly. Pair the ham with these keto-friendly sauces to add layers of flavor without extra carbs.
