Well we have all the hatches battend down and just waitin. So, since we are just waitin and they just keep saying the same thing on the TV, its time to cook. The pantry is full, the water barrels filed, lets cook a ham.
I thought that the Ham would be good to go ahead and cook just incase the electric should go out. Ham is always good, cold or hot. And, it makes great sandwiches. I looked around for some recipes and this is what I came up with.
Cola-Baked Ham With Cherry-Orange Glaze
1 (12 to 15-pound) fully cooked bone-in ham
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 (2-liter) bottle Coke-a-cola
3/4 cup cherry preserves or jelly
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur – (recommended: Grand Marnier)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Trim rind and excess fat from the ham, leaving a 1/4-inch thick layer of fat. With a sharp knife, score the fat in a diamond pattern. Place the ham in large roasting pan and sprinkle with the allspice. Pour the cola into the pan and bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the cherry preserves, orange juice, and liqueur over medium heat and cook, stirring, until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the ham from the oven and brush the top and sides with the cherry glaze. Return the ham to the oven and bake, brushing with pan juices and glaze every 15 minutes and tenting the ham with foil if browning too quickly, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham without touching the bone registers 140 degrees F, about 15 to 30 minutes.
Remove the ham from oven and let rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, thinly sliced, with biscuits or dinner rolls and mustard to make sandwiches.

I wasn’t able to find the cherry jelly so I used a can of pie cherries and put them through the food processor for a second.

Moms are so great. She knows I love German Choclate cake and I personally thinks hers is the best in the world. Of course you have to have a cold glass of milk to go with it. I dont normally eat desert after diner, at least not right after diner; but I made an exception for this one. Tell me this doesn’t say it all!
Got Milk?
