GLAZED HAM - Would you like a recipe for how to make glazed ham well cooked? If yes, then this is the recipe for you.

There are various examples for what you can do with ham leftovers such as cooking ham fettuccine or making ham sandwiches.
- Brown sugar,

are all good for using as the glaze on your glazed ham. A combination of the three works well. It is what I use. The glazed ham tastes great.

Cooking ham for a 1/2 hour per pound of meat will make it very well done
Personally, I like to cook a very well done ham that still remains moist and tender. As a general rule, cooking for 1/2 hour per pound of meat is good. A 6 pound ham would need to cook for 3 hours. That is at 350 degrees in a preheated oven. I use a cured bone in ham.

Garnishing a ham with cloves or another type of garnish
Traditionally, cloves can be used to garnish a ham. You can easily add this item to your grocery list and pick it up at the supermarket when you are planning to cook the ham. If it is a spice that you frequently keep on hand in your pantry anyway, that's good too.
When I realized that I had no cloves I did not run out to the store however. I had too much cooking of various dishes to do that day ( Christmas of last year) so I simply sprinkled some parsley on top.
Oh, well. Nevertheless, the ham was still a hit and very delicious.
Cloves are often used as garnish on top of a ham. You can also try using parsley to sprinkle on top of the glazed ham, like I did.
