Baked Ham

This is a tasty holiday meal. It is very low maintenance, though it takes awhile. The leftovers are great for breakfast, in beans, in sandwiches, and in all sorts of things. The bone makes a wonderful ham stock for soups. We had this along with a green salad.

1 fully cooked butt portion bone in ham, about 7 pounds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ham in a baking dish, cut side down. Make sure you remove any plastic piece covering the bone. Bake for about 2.5 hours (20 minutes per pound), or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Serve hot.
