GINGER ALE GLAZED HAM FOR EASTER DINNER
This was the main attraction for our Easter dinner, it was a 10 3/4 pound Hillshire Spiral Half Ham. We love Hillshire Ham in fact I often refer to it as the Cadillac of all hams because of it's superiority in flavor, taste & quality. It is expensive but it is well worth every penny you pay for it.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. But follow the directions for the ham that you have purchased.
- 2. I had to remove the wrapping and the disk covering the bone, and then wrap the ham tightly in aluminum foil. Then place in a large pan with a 2 inch side. No water was needed. Place ham in middle rack and bake for 13 -15 minutes per pound. My ham needed 2 1/2 hours baking time.
- 3. GLAZE RECIPE: Add the ginger ale, ground mustard, brown sugar & cloves to a medium sauce pan, then stir to blend. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil, whisking as you go. Do not leave sauce pan unattended or it can quickly boil over. Continue to stir as glaze will thicken in just a few minutes about 5 to 10 minutes. When glaze becomes syrupy remove from heat and add butter, then stir till butter melts. Then brush glaze over ham on all sides.
- 4. I baked the ham for 2 hours, then made the glaze while the ham was baking, removed the ham after the 2 hours has elapsed, then glazed the ham on all sides, then returned it to the oven. Then repeated this step 2 additional times for a total of 30 minutes. There was juice that accumulated in the bottom of the pan from the ham.
- 5. I lined a platter with fresh greens, and added some decorative fruit that I had cut, and placed a cherry in the middle of each piece of citrus fruit , added a few green & red Grapes that I drizzled with Agave nectar and dusted with powdered sugar.
- 6. Added the ham & carefully separated the slices & arranged them on the tray in an attractive manner.
