Ham Recipe

After searching the internet for a few different ways of cooking up a ham, I concocted by own version. And by crossing my fingers in hopes that it would be delicious I come up with this...

7lb Ham
-open up ham, chuck spice packet into trash, rub with salt & pepper and then whisk together
1/4 cup evoo and sage. rub onto ham. sit in fridge for 1 hour.

2hrs before eating:
heat oven 275, put ham in roasting pan and start cooking. make glaze now. in a sauce pan put 1 can of pineapple & juice, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup water. put on med high, stir until bubbly, then lower temp to med-low and simmer to reduce for 1 hour. stir every 10 mins.

1 hour before eating:
take ham out pour glaze over ham. every 15 mins baste.

This makes one delicious, scrumptious, tasty ham. Hot or cold!!

In Puerto Rico, we put pineapple rounds at the top and place a maraschino cherry in the middle of each round. Then, we mix the cherry juice with the pineapple juice and the brown sugar in order to make the glaze. :) Bon Appetit!
