HOLIDAY HAM


1 country style smoked ham


2 c. water


20 - 30 whole cloves


one (16 ounce) can sliced pineapple rings


1 cup Maraschino cherries, cut into halves


1 cup brown sugar


2 tablespoons flour


sprinkling of garlic powder


sprinkling of onion powder


sprinkling of black pepper


olive oil spray


Place ham in roaster. Add 2 cups water, and cover roaster.


Bake in a 325掳F oven, allowing about 21 minutes per pound for a large ham, about 25 minutes per pound for a smaller (up to 12 pounds) ham or half ham. If the ham has an exposed bone, cover this with foil. Keep an eye on the ham as it cooks and spray occasionally with olive oil during the first part of the cooking. Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in center reads 160 degrees. Be sure thermometer is not touching bone.


When ham is done, remove from oven. Lift off rind. Using a sharp knife, score fat surface crosswise (into intersecting squares) and dot with cloves at each intersection.


To prepare the ham coating, combine brown sugar and flour. Rub this mixture over the scored ham. Sprinkle over lightly with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.


Place a pineapple slice on the ham so that one of the cloves will be in the center of the circle. Cover the clove with a Maraschino cherry half. Each cherry half should be placed in the center of a pineapple slice. Continue until ham is covered decoratively with pineapple slices and cherries. Brown, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes in a 400掳F oven or until ham takes on a beautiful glazed coloring.


Note: Cut any remaining pineapple slices into halves and use to decorate around the ham at the bottom of the serving plate, alternating with sprigs of parsley or kale for garnish.





******KAHLUA BAKED HOLIDAY HAM


10 lb. precooked ham


3/4 c. brown sugar


1/2 c. kahlua


3 tbsp. kahlua


2 tbsp. dry mustard


Whole cloves


Place ham with rind on rack in roasting pan, fat side up. Roast at 300 degrees, 18 minutes per pound. During last hour, trim rind, scorefat (criss cross) and stud with cloves. Sprinkle top with brown sugar, then 3 tablespoons kahlua. Pour 1/2 cup kahlua and mixed mustard into pan. Baste frequently with pan syrup. Delicious!





********COCO COLA BAKED HAM


15 oz. crushed pineapple


12 oz. diet (or classic) coke


1/2 lb. dark brown sugar


Whole ham (approximately 10 lb.)


Trim off most of surface fat. Shake 1 tablespoon of flour in browning bag to prevent sticking. If you prefer, wrap in heavy duty foil. It works just as well. The bag makes it easier to clean up! Place ham in bag, place (pour) all ingredients over ham. Seal bag and make 4 to 6 one inch slits in top of bag.


Bake at 275 degrees; 30 minutes for each pound of ham. Remove bones and other fat as soon as meat cools enough to be handled. Wrap meat in foil and place in refrigerator until cool. Slice AFTER cooling.


NOTE: Pineapple, coke, and sugar may be increased or decreased according to taste and size of ham.Care to share your holiday ham recipe?
glaze with honey, pack brown sugar onto the ham, bake for 15 minutes.... pour cola over ham, bake 15 minutes.... every 15 minutes while it is baking, pour liquid from pan over ham..... you could also attach pinapple slices to it with toothpicks
