BAKED HAM
Small smoked ham
3 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
2 whole onions
Garlic powder
Yellow mustard
1 box dark brown sugar
1/2 bottle molasses
1 can pears, cut up into pieces with juice
Boil ham and bring down to a simmer (use enough water to cover
top of ham). Simmer for 3 hours with onions, garlic and bay
leaf. Take ham out of water and remove outer skin, leaving fat
on (there shouldn't be much). Sprinkle garlic powder all over
the ham, rubbing it in. Then spread a thin layer of mustard all
over the garliced ham. Mix together 1 box of brown sugar with a
half bottle of molasses (approximately 3 ounces). Coat ham, pour
almost all over ham, saving remainder for later. With
toothpicks, put fruit on top of ham. Pour fruit juice on bottom
of pan. Pour remaining molasses mix on top of fruit. Bake at 375
degrees for 1 hour.
