I've made this ham many times over the years for my children and grandchildren. They're all very fond of it. Honey, brown sugar and pan juices create a succulent glaze.Savannah Square, Mary Padgett, Savannah, Georgia Ingredients:
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (10 to 12 pounds) |
2 teaspoons whole cloves, divided |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup packed brown sugar, divided |
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley |
3 cups ginger ale |
1 cup honey |
1 can (16 ounces) pineapple slices, drained |
Directions:
1. Remove skin from ham; score the surface, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Insert a clove in every other diamond; set remaining cloves aside.
2. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Combine the onion, garlic, oregano, basil and pepper; pat onto ham. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and parsley; sprinkle over top of ham. Pour ginger ale around ham.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours, basting often.
4. Remove ham from pan; set aside. Drain pan juices, reserving 3 tablespoons. For glaze, combine honey, remaining brown sugar and reserved pan juices in a small bowl.
5. Increase oven temperature to 400°. Return ham to pan. Insert remaining cloves into ham. Spoon half of the glaze over ham. Bake for 20 minutes.
6. Place pineapple on ham; drizzle with remaining glaze. Bake 30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°. Yield: 30 servings.
