I traditionally serve this special ham on Easter. But it's so delicious that my family often requests it for a number of holidays throughout the year. I think you'll enjoy it, too. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion |
3 tablespoons chopped celery |
3 tablespoons butter |
2-3/4 cups cubed french bread (1/4-inch cubes) |
1 cup chopped tart apple |
3/4 cup chicken broth |
3 tablespoons raisins |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 fully cooked ham (3 pounds), cut into 3/8-inch slices |
1/2 cup pineapple preserves, melted |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, saute onion and celery in butter until tender; add the next six ingredients and mix well. Line an 11-in. x 7-in. baking pan with foil; place string for tying on foil. Place one ham slice on top of string; spread with 1 cup of stuffing. Top with another ham slice. Repeat the process, using two ham slices between stuffing layers. Tie securely with string. Cover loosely with foil.
2. Bake at 350° for 1-1/4 hours. Baste ham with preserves; bake, uncovered, basting several times, for 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the stuffing in the center of ham reads 140°. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove the string and separate the double ham slices; cut into desired portions. Yield: 8-10 servings.
