Old-fashioned HAM

published by hupitak on Feb 3, 2011

OLD-FASHIONED HAM.

Ѕ (6- to 8-pound) fully cooked ham, with bone

20 whole cloves

Ѕ cup light brown sugar, packed

3 tablespoons dry mustard

8 canned pineapple rings, drained (reserve juice or syrup) Maraschino cherries

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Score surface of the ham with shal-

low, diamond-shaped cuts and insert cloves evenly in cuts over top and sides. Combine sugar, mustard, and pineapple juice or syrup to make a thick paste. Spread paste over ham and decorate top and sides with pineapple rings and cherries, held by toothpicks. Bake for 20 minutes a pound or until internal temperature of ham reaches 140 degrees. I like to baste ham with pan juices several times while it cooks.

Yield: 12 to 14 servings
