Now, here's the part you've all been waiting for: how long do you actually cook a picnic ham? Well, it depends on the size, of course! A general rule of thumb is to cook it for about 20 minutes per pound, but you'll want to check the internal temperature to make sure it reaches a safe 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Don't worry if you're not a math whiz, just use a food thermometer and you'll be golden!
While the ham is cooking, you can prepare a delicious glaze to brush over it during the last 30 minutes of cooking - think brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard for a sweet and tangy combo. You can also add some aromatics like onions and cloves to the pan for extra flavor. Just imagine the amazing smells wafting from your kitchen!
