Ham with cherry sauce

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ Fully cooked bone-in ham
(6 to 7 pounds)
1 Jar (12 oz.) cherry preserves
¼ cup Cider or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon Each ground cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg
3 tablespoons Slivered almonds

Directions

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. If desired, remove skin from ham and score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes. Bake, uncovered, at 325F for 1½ to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140F. In a saucepan, combine the preserves, vinegar, corn syrup, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring often.

Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in almonds. Serve with the ham. Yield: 10 - 12 servings ( 1 ½ cups sauce). Typed in MMFormat by cjhartlin@... Source: Quick Cooking Nov/Dec 98.
