Ham
20 lb. bone-in smoked ham
3/4 c. whole cloves
3 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. ground cloves
4 c. light brown sugar
4 oranges, sliced
1 tbsp. dry mustard
1 1/2 c. orange juice
1 box toothpicks
Cut fat off ham and score the ham diamond shapes. Sprinkle ham with cloves and
cinnamon spices. Stud with whole cloves in the cuts of the diamond patterns.
Pat 2 cups of the brown sugar on ham and top with orange slices fastened
with toothpicks. Cook 18 minutes per pound (or use a meat thermometer 130-140
degrees) in 325 degree oven on a rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Baste often
with 1 cup of orange juice. The last half hour of baking baste with mixture of
1/2 cup orange and 2 cups brown sugar.
Love
and compassion are the true religion to me. But to develop this, we do not need
to believe in any religion.
