Baked Ham
1 medium sized ham
1 small bottle of ginger ale or Coca Cola
25 whole cloves
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons prepared mustard
With a sharp knife remove the outside skin from ham on the fat side, and mark in squares. Mix the sugar with the mustard and make a paste, with the hands rub the ham thoroughly with this mixture. Put cloves in scored squares. Place in a roaster or on a shallow pan, baste good with ginger ale or Coke and cook slowly in an oven of about 350 degrees basting often. The ham should be cooed 30 minutes for each pound. A good sauce may be made from the drippings by adding juice to browned mushrooms. Cooked noodles with this sauce and baked ham make a delicious meal.
