I Really Gotta Ham It To Ya (Bone-In Ham Cooked in Beer)
I Really Gotta Ham It To Ya (Bone-In Ham Cooked in Beer) I know you are skeptical.  I can hear you; "Ham cooked in beer?!  How very Wisconsin!"  But, believe it not, the ham doesn't end up tasting like beer.  While the chemistry of how it works remains a mystery, the final taste is actually very, very good.
Ingredients
  • 20 pounds bone-in ham
  • 1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans beer (I prefer a pale ale).
Cooking Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Grease an 18 quart roasting pan.
  • Place the ham, with the fattier side up, in the roaster.
  • Use toothpicks to secure pineapple rings on the ham.
  • Pour the beer over the ham.
  • Place lid on roasting pan.
  • Bake 6 to 8 hours, or until cooked through.
  • Remove the pineapple rings and let sit 15 minutes before slicing.
