This clove-studded glazed beauty is heavenly for the holiday season. The glaze is really the star of the show, sinking sweet notes into the ham and adding a flavorful coating.
12 pounds fully cooked bone-in ham
whole cloves
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon orange juice
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer in thickest part. Bake, uncovered, 2 hours.
With sharp knife, remove skin, if any, then score fat into 1 inch diamonds, stud each with a clove.
Combine honey, sugar, mustard and orange juice in 1 quart saucepan. Over medium heat bring to a boil while stirring. Brush half of honey glaze over ham, bake 30 minutes.
Brush with rest of glaze, bake 30 minutes until golden and thermometer reads 130 degrees F. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

My wife and I used this recipe for the ham we cooked on New year's Eve for a party at our house. It was a tremendous hit and at least 1/2 of our guests asked what we did with the ham. Thanks, CD Kitchen
