Ham It Up


I'm not a big fan of ham, unless it is made this way...

9 to 10 lb. butt portion ham
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 c. orange juice
1/2 c. honey

Score top of ham diagonally with a knife. Place in a turkey bag (follow instructions on box) and place in a roasting tray. Mix rest of ingredients and pour over the ham. Close bag and bake at 325 degrees for 4-5 hours. When it's done, I just pull it apart in big chunks with a fork like a roast. I made this with stuffing and fresh green beans tossed with feta cheese. "Phenomenal dinner" was how my dinner guest described the meal. Kari tells me the ham hock is good for lots of bean recipes, too, so keep that.
