1 ham
1 c. honey
Cloves

Select a good quality ham. Wipe meat with a damp cloth and remove unsightly parts. Place ham fat side up in roasting pan. Add no water. Bake, uncovered in slow oven, 300 degrees. Insert a meat thermometer with the bulb at the center of the largest muscle. Cook until the thermometer registers an internal temperature of 170, 25 to 30 minutes per pound should be allowed for roasting time. Before the ham is done, take from the oven and remove the rind. Mark fat into squares. Place whole clove in each square. Pour a honey glaze over ham. Return to oven to finish baking. Baste frequently.
