Course Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 1 semi-boneless whole or half ham
  • 1 qt apple cider vinegar
  • 1 bottle chili sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs prepared yellow or Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbs honey
  • 2 Tbs maple syrup
  • 1 small can crushed pineapple
  • 1 Tbsp whole cloves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wash excess fat off ham and dry completely. Score top of ham deeply and place in roasting pan. Pour vinegar over entire ham and place in oven.
  • Pour vinegar over ham at 30 minute intervals until the entire quart is used up. Continue baking for 3 hours. While ham is baking:
  • In a saucepan, combine chili sauce, brown sugar, mustard, honey, maple syrup, pineapple and cloves and cook over medium heat until boiling. Remove from heat and spoon 1/2 of the mixture over the ham. Return ham to oven and bake another 30 minutes, remove from oven and spoon the final portion of sauce over the ham. Bake another 30 minutes and then bring out of oven, cover and let stand about 15 minutes for the juices to set. Slice and serve immediately. Makes lots. Enjoy!
  • NOTE: The original recipe didn't list exact amounts for the mustard, honey, maple syrup, and brown sugar, so we provided suggestions. You can use more or less, to taste.
