Ingredients

  • 4 lbs ham
  • 1 gallon water

Instructions

  1. Take the wrapper off of the ham.
  2. Place the ham, cut side down, in a large pan or stew pot, large enough so that the ham doesn't stick out of the pot too much.
  3. Fill the pan with cold water so that 3/4 of the ham is under the water.
  4. Place the pot in the refrigerator.
  5. After 12 hours take the ham out of the refrigerator and drain all of the water out. Follow steps 2 to 4 again.
  6. After the second 12 hours (making it a total of 24 hours), take the pan out of the refrigerator and drain the water.
  7. Remove the ham from the pan, rinse it, and put it in the pan or crock pot in which you are going to cook it.
  8. Cook it any way you want to.
  9. I usualy put mine in the crock pot and let it cook until it is done.
  10. With a spiral cut ham, it only needs a couple of hours in the crockpot for it to get hot.
