Mardi Gras: Baked Ham

Source of Recipe


From "The Dooky Chase Cookbook" by Leah Chase






List of Ingredients



• One 8- to 10-pound boneless cooked ham
  
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
  
• 1/2 cup yellow mustard
  
• 1 tsp ground cloves
  
• 2 cups pineapple juice
  
• 1 (8-ounce) bottle of cola
  
• 1 can cherry pie filling
  
• Pineapple slices
  
• Maraschino cherries
  






Instructions



1. Remove all wrappings from ham -- any strings or paper also. Stick ham several times with metal skewer or long fork. This is to let the sauce penetrate the ham. Place ham in a deep roasting pan.
   
   
2. Mix sugar, mustard and cloves together. Rub over entire ham. Pour juice and cola in pan around ham.
   
   
3. Place in oven and bake for 35 minutes at 350° F. Baste ham with juice. With a pastry brush, brush pie filling over ham. Let cook for 10 minutes. Repeat the basting until all the pie filling is used. Raise oven temperature to 375° and let glaze cook well. Garnish baked ham with pineapple slices and Maraschino cherries.
