Recipe - Mahogany Glazed Ham

1 Fully (8 to 10pound)
cooked; bonein ham
48 Whole cloves
1 pack (1pound) dark brown sugar
1 Jar (8ounce) creole mustard
1 cup Bourbon
1 cup Hot strong brewed coffee;
(optional)

Remove skin from ham, and trim fat to 1/4inch thickness; make shallow cuts
in fat in a diamond pattern. Push clove stems into ham in a decorative
pattern; place ham in a lightly greased 13 x 9inch pan. Stir together
brown sugar, Creole mustard, and bourbon; pour evenly over ham.

Bake on lower oven rack at 350° for 2 One half hours, basting with pan juices
every 15 to 20 minutes. Remove ham, reserving drippings in pan if a sauce
is desired. Stir coffee into drippings, stirring to loosen browned bits
from bottom of pan this to make the traditional Southern Red Eye Gravy.
Transfer mixture to a small saucepan, and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until
thoroughly heated.

Yield: 12 servings.

Notes: This ham is wonderful served warm or cold. Use leftovers for summer
suppers or sandwiches.
