FESTIVE BAKED HAM

    Festive Baked Ham

    1 cup apple cider
    1/2 cup water
    1 (5 pound) uncooked ham half
    12 whole cloves
    1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/2 cup orange juice

    Combine apple cider and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Set aside.

    Remove skin from the ham. Place the ham, fat side up, on a cutting board; score fat in a diamond design, and stud with cloves. Place the ham in a shallow baking pan, fat side up; then coat top with brown sugar. Insert meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch fat or bone. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees F about 2 hours (22 to 25 minutes per pound) or until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F, basting every 30 minutes with cider mixture.

    Sauce: Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Serve sauce with sliced ham.

    Yield: 10 servings
