    List of Ingredients




    GRAND HAM
    You can score a "bone in" ham by cutting through the rind at one inch intervals, 1/2 inch deep, one way then again cutting across the ham in the opposite direction so that diamond shaped 'squares' are produced. For a fancy presentation, you can cover the ham with pineapple rings with a maraschino cherries in the center of each ring, secured with toothpicks and insert a whole clove into each 'diamond'. You may have to use the tip of a knife to make a small whole to ins ert each clove.
