We have a FIRM caterer so I am copying her. Unfortunately, she seems to be purchasing an awful lot of recalled items. So maybe we need a FIRM food taster. It will NOT BE BONNIE STERN OR KRIS EROSEVICH!!!!

sod’s ham just gets a light coat of egg white whipped with brown sugar (light or dark), touch of ginger and cinnamon or nutmeg or allspice.

good Easter eatin’

I always pre-cook mine in apple juice to pull out excess salt and then bake with a honey sauce....mmmmmm

I had to download my ham recipe so I could post it! This may sound complicated, but it's really not, and it is good:

BAKED HAM This is my favorite way to cook Baked Ham. It is simmered on top of the stove and left standing in stock for awhile. It is then dressed up with a brown sugar and mustard mixture to finish baking in the oven.

6-pound piece cured ham, any good brand

6 to 8 tablespoons prepared mustard

1/2 cup vinegar

6 to 8 tablespoons brown sugar, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons

5 to 6 cloves

1 small onion, sliced

Cloves

1 can (6 ounce)orange juice

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 to 1 cup ham stock

Place ham in a vessel of simmering water. Add 1/2 cup vinegar, cloves, onion, salt, and pepper. Cover. Simmer slowly allowing 15 to 20 minutes per pound in cooking. (Cook until meat begins to recede from bone.) Remove from heat and let stand in stock for several hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. when ready to bake ham. Remove ham from stock and remove any heavy skin from fat side. Place in a baking dish. Score fat on ham and mix prepared mustard and 6 to 8 tablespoons brown sugar to make a paste. Pat and rub over ham, even on cut side. Now stick cloves in fat part about an inch apart. Add orange juice mixed with 1 cup ham stock. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Pour around ham in baking dish. Bake 30 minutes to 1 hour or until ham begins to brown. Baste several times. Ham is easier to carve if cool. Serves 16 to 18.

(This is from an old cookbook, The Art of Southern Cooking. It is my family’s favorite ham, and they prefer it to Honeybaked or Heavenly Ham.)
