You can't believe everything you read in a cookbook. I recently purchased Martha Stewart's new book. I planned to cook her recipe for 'brown sugar and bourbon glazed cooked ham', for tomorrow. The recipie ingredients include 'One bone in fully cooked ham about 10 pounds." The directions tell you to cook this ham, basting a couple of times, for a total of 2 and a half hours. When I went to my local ham store yesterday, I was told...never cook this ham...just put it in the oven on a rack, in a pan containing water and cover it with foil, so that the meat warms by steaming...Had I done what Martha suggests, I would have ruined the ham!!
