Ingredients
- 13 lbs canned ham
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 6 oz whole clove as many as needed
- 2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 pint beer
- 2-1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp wine vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the top of the ham can and heat the ham in the oven until the gelatin softens. Invert the ham on a rack in a pan, punch holes in the bottom of the can and lift it off. Pour off the can liquid.
- Cover the raisins with warm water.
- Score the ham in diamonds and stud with cloves. Mix the mustard and molasses and spread on the ham. Bake 1 hour, basting with the beer.
- Transfer the ham to a platter and boil the drippings until reduced to 1-1/2 cups. Drain the water from the raisins into a measuring cup and add more water to make 1 cup. Add to the drippings and bring to a boil.
- Mix the cornstarch with 1/3 cup water, add to the boiling broth and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Add the vinegar and raisins and serve the sauce with the ham.
