How to Make Slow-Roasted Fresh Ham 

Finally a video with made with raw ham!! None of that pre-cooked smoked nonsense :) thank you

This is an amazing recipe! Have tried this recipe three times; the first two were in my gas oven, but since we live in Florida and it was the heat of the Summer, The 3rd time was in an electric Oster roaster oven, not only did it give off much less heat in the kitchen, but my 14 lb. Pork shank cooked in just 3 hours at 325 degrees. We did follow the instructions however in using our gas oven when basting with glaze the remaining 20 minutes. Every time we make this recipe, not only does the presentation get ooh’s and ahh’s from our dinner guests but hands-down, the most tender, juicy and succulent piece of meat you’ll ever consume! Be sure to plan all the necessary steps involved…in the end is a magnificent pay off! Thank you Christie and ATK for such a fabulous recipe! (forgot to mention that another contributor to the heat in the kitchen are all your dinner guests “elbowing in” for a piece of pork, impatient for it to get to the table!!)😆

This was the BEST ham I've ever eaten, roasted, sliced and I'm an old guy. Did this for Christmas 2021 and I just ordered this year's ham for this year's meal. It's like prime rib, only the flavors are definitely pork. Bon appetite

*Hail to the unparalleled unctiousness of a perfectly executed pork roast!*

Christie is a fantastic cook !!! I love it when she's on.

I don't think I'll ever make a ham that I buy from a supermarket ever again! It will be fresh ham from now on! Superb!

Have never made a “fresh ham”….. think I have to do it now! WOW that looks delicious!

Christie is such a good presenter, I always enjoy when she's on

I just have to make this for thanksgiving. My God! My mouth is watering. Actually I want some NOW! LOL I also agree with you GPR. Christie is fantastic

I made this recipe for Easter and it was AMAZING! So delicious!!

We bought a pig from the neighbor. For meat. Have fresh hams. Had to look up how to cook these freah hams. Found this. Followed directions (less 20° marinate nor plastic bag), and it was incredible! I may never get a “regular” ham again! Everyone loved it! Thanks ladies!

Excellent presentation and a great idea! Thank you!

I make this every Christmas. Family recipe. To die for. Omg

I've been drooling since they put it in the bag! 😋

Love when Christy is on! Thank you.

Wonderful looking recipe and technique! Can't wait to give this a try. If I were entertaining, especially at another location, could the slow cook portion be done ahead of time and if so, how long?

Oh this was really nice! Thank you.

All recipes are SHOW STOPPERS & I Love Jack's tests !!!. Love All of them, esp the firsts' with Chris, "back in the day". WONDERFUL. BUY THEIR BOOKS!!! & Support this TERRIFIC enterprise. Very educational. My daughter, who's 38 now, taught herself to cook here & others, the summer after 5th grade!

Made this today and omg so delicious!!!! Nothing like a fresh ham roast. This recipe was easy but very tasty.

Amazing Recipe! 😃

First video I watched for Baked Ham, & you can just tell when someone knows what they are doing 12 vids later made this one & it has been fantastic both times!!! Tried a couple other hams ways this year, Christie's is definitely the best!!! That Blueberry Cake video I'll do next Thanks!!!! (Porterhouse & Scallops you're the best!!!)

Trying it today. Will keep you posted

This is the real ham my dad insisted on for holiday meals, not the Krakus, which turned out to be a formed ham from compressing chunks of lean pork into that can shape. Ours were smoked, always bone-in for optimum flavor and studded with cloves, never any herbs. Over the next few days, we had ham sandwiches and sometimes fried the slices.

So happy for a video on Fresh Ham. Every time I ask for it in the store they point me to Smoked Ham. When I say this is not Fresh Ham they shrug their shoulders. So I special order it from my local butcher shop………. No problem!! Even then they tell me it’s only available certain times of the year. Too bad. In my opinion, it’s the best part (besides bacon of course) of the pig!!!!

It's not every day I have an uncured ham! That ham looks so good!

I am Speechless 🙊 😍 and now very Hungry. Looks delicious 😋

Love fresh ham , yours look like a winner

Have I been slicing ham incorrectly?! Never seen it done this way. It looked good, I’m ready to try it.

I have a fresh ham and a air fryer oven. I'm using this recipe ❤

That slow roasted ham looks so delicious.

I HAVE LOVED THIS SHOW SINCE I CAN REMEMBER!!! & AM A TRUE ADDICT, 💖💖💖 esp to your added chefs on TV this past 2-3 years!!! (I think; I lose count) 🤗 💖💖💖💖💖& I buy their adv Equipment & Books & Give them as "special presents" !!

That looks soo good!!!! I have never made one. Does it taste anything like a pork shoulder or a pork loin? Or does it taste like ham?

Thank you.

ATK Hi from California 🤗😋🍽👏 Salutations 💌

When do we get to see a new season of Cook's Country???

Could you use the shank from the shoulder if you can't find the ham?

Some of us enjoy the pork that was raised in the backyard... fresh ham!!!

I want to use my Counter-Top Electric Roaster . I wonder if the roaster can replace the need for the bag (bags not recommended for this appliance).

Are your oven temps for non convection ovens?

I wonder how a large dutch oven would work. I like my dutch oven. I'll try it

If I didn't have another use for the skin, I would place the skin under the ham for the long cooking time. That way I get a sauce that will be high in gelatin which will contribute to even better mouth feel along with the delicious taste.

Im making a whole fresh ham , where should I cut my slit to add pocket of seasoning?

Is this the same thing as a fresh picnic shoulder?

If its 3-5 hrs for a 10 lb How long would I cook a 20 lb whole ham for

Christie, will you please adopt me? lol...This looks incredible

Brining it will give more of a consistent flavor

Our neighbor gave us a fresh ham from one of his pigs and now I know what to do with it!

Wonder how this method less the bag would work on the smoker

Smoked or unsmoked matter???

The link for the recipe requires credit card payment.... that's garbage. why have a link at all as if its free

Si

I wonder if this can be done with a sous vide method?

I was never a fan of using plastic cooking bags. Something has to leach out of those things.

I took out a tenderloin because of this.

Fantastic video! But I will point out one small error. Those spices that you put in the so-called spice pocket will do nothing but season the meat right around that one spot. Doesn’t matter how long do you leave it there, the only thing that will do any good is the salt. The ions on the rest of those spaces when they break down are too large to penetrate anything

I make the store trim all that off.

People that have high blood pressure use salt substitute instead of salt

Cooked this ham for Easter. The time she cooked her ham way over cooked for me. I grad a 10lb ham and cooked for 4 hours. Probably would have been done at 3 hours. I was at church while it cooked otherwise I would have checked it more often. So make sure your home to test the temperature. This was costly so not sure I will try it again.

Is this a ham or a leg of pork?

Cannot compete with a pernil

thats a fresh ham down south..

I really missed not having that skin in the game...you've got to find a way to incorporate that divine deliciousness into my diet and belly !!!

Damn Ive never even heard of fresh ham

Bacony, better hide it from Bridget.

Looking like a pork roast to me, but very delicious I'm sure.

Bruh Leg ham

Sous Vide! Sous Vide! Sous Vide! lol :✨🤗✨ I would cook this big-ol' hunk of meat in my Sous Vide cooker - if it would fit_? Hmm - okay, go buy the super-larger model, THEN cook 'er-up! After that PERFECT temperature is reached and cooked for my traditional time (160 F°), I then fire-up the pan to super-crisp ALL the sides of the ham (only do this for company_ I do not care). Naturally, the ham is WONDERFULLY seasoned before going into bag and sucking out the air. Oh My Gosh!!! My hams always taste SO good! Bye! 😁

You do't need to brine the fresh ham?

MYfamily likes the hard skin you cut it all off You wasted the best part

She missed fresh garlic and black pepper...

Why do you trim off that skin? That’s the best part.

I refuse to use a plastic bag. I'm surprised they used it. I wanted an old school recipe. And why did she remove all of the skin? What would happen if you just scored it?

what's with all the reuploads lately?

This is a repost

Not a ham, but a terrific pork roast....need to cure it for ham.

I wish this site would answer really good questions but they never do. Only an all powerful one way communication.

Removing the skin allows the meat to dry out ! Durrrgh

Okay. I am calling BS. I remember like 17 years ago they did a fresh pork roast as an "alternative to Christmas ham". Kimball and Bridgette did this whole 4 Ltr Coke brine to get a sweet crispy skin. They made a big deal about a pork roast was only a ham if it had been cured.

I dont understand : whats the diff tween a pork shank and a fresh ham shank ?? p.s. how much for the one with the dirty blond pony tail ?

Made exact same recipe. Way too salty. 1/3c of kosher salt is too much.

All these quastions about sous vide. Have you considered how swiney its going to come out? Sous vide isnt for everything. Roast the stupid thing. Almighty

Why not leave the skin on?

You lost me at "remove the skin"....

EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VIDEO....

White ham ? Ham is cured pork, this has not been cured, its a pork roast

They got rid of all the skinny male cooks . . . when is Paula Dean going to join the crew?
