The fruit juices combine with the ham liquid to make a sweet gravy my family looks forward to having each Easter and Christmas. Ingredients:
1/2 fully cooked bone-in ham (6 to 7 pounds) |
2 tablespoons whole cloves |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2/3 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice |
1/3 cup maraschino cherry juice |
Directions:
1. Place ham on a rack in a shallow foil-lined roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove into each diamond. Cover and bake at 325° for 2 hours.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the brown sugar and juices to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until glaze is reduced to 1 cup.
3. Baste ham with 1/3 cup glaze. Bake, uncovered, 25-35 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°, basting with remaining glaze every 10 minutes. Yield: 8-10 servings.
