Be careful with the knife, cutting the skin of the ham, and be careful using the food processor or blender for the sauce. This is very easy; it will make you look like a gourmet chef!
Best Glazed Ham
1 (10 lb.) cured ham, bone-in
Glaze:
1½ c. brown sugar
3 tsp. spicy brown honey mustard
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple with juice
4 dashes Tabasco
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. fresh sliced ginger
hand full of cloves
Pat ham dry. Place ham cut side down in large roasting pan. Score ham in X’s w/ sharp knife, and place whole cloves in scored corners. Place all glaze ingredients into blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Gently and slowly pour glaze over ham, making sure it is totally glazed. Bake 4 hours at 300ºF.. Tent with foil if browning too quickly during last hour. Serve with warm rolls.
