A huge piece of baked ham is a spectacular and delicious treat for a big family celebration. While you can find pre-marinated and pre-baked ham in stores, this recipe is for a fresh cut. The pork leg is rubbed with soy sauce and sprinkled with a simple homemade seasoning of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Be generous with the seasoning and don't worry about over-salting the meat, but you won't need all the homemade seasoning in this recipe. Any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container and used in other dishes. Bake the ham for 20 minutes per pound, and it will turn out very juicy on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
