Source of Recipe
unknown
List of Ingredients
1 ham
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp. dry mustard
15 or so cloves
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350.
Put the ham on a rack in a shallow baking pan, fat side up. Read the directions on the ham to see how long to bake based on its weight. Bake unglazed until 1 hour before the ham is done.
Mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, and dry mustard. Score the ham lightly (1/4") in a diamond pattern and then spread the sugar mixture over it. Put the cloves in the ham, evenly distributed. Bake for another hour.
Options: You can use honey instead.of maple syrup. Add pineapple rings secured with toothpicks if you like.
Basting Sauce (optional)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 cup orange juice
Basting adds a good flavor to the ham but it's also quite good without it. If you are basting, mix together the basting sauce and baste the ham every 15 minutes.
Note: Save the bone for split pea soup!
Leftover ideas: Add diced ham to your scrambled eggs and macaroni and cheese,
