Cranberry Ham

The holiday tastes of smoke ham and cranberry sauce
make this recipe a new Christmas classic.

1 (5-to 7-pound) smoked fully
          cooked ham half
   Whole cloves
1  (8-ounce) caned jellied
         cranberry sauce
¼  cup firmly packed brown sugar
3  tablespoons cider vinegar
 

1   tablespoon commercial
           steak sauce
½  teaspoon dry mustard
¼  teaspoon ground allspice
¼  teaspoon ground cloves
2  tablespoons orange juice
1   bunch red grapes
     Garnish: salad savory

 

1.   Remove and discard the skin from the ham.  Score the fat on the ham in a
     diamond design and stud with the whole cloves.  Place the ham, fat side up,
     on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.  Insert a meat thermometer making
     sure it does not touch the fat or the bone.
2.  Combine the cranberry sauce and next 6 ingredients, stirring well.  Baste
     the ham lightly with some of the cranberry mixture.  Cover and bake at 325
     degrees F. for 1 hour.  Uncover and baste the ham.  Bake, uncovered, an
     additional hour or until the meat thermometer registers 140 degrees, basting
     every 15 minutes.
3.  Combine the orange juice and the remaining cranberry mixture in a skillet.
     Trim the grapes to make several small clusters.  Add the grapes to the
      orange juice mixture; toss gently.  Cook over low heat just until the
      grapes are glazed.

Transfer the ham to a serving platter.  Add the glazed grapes.  Garnish with salad savory. 

Yield: 10 to 14 servings.
