Ham

This is a quick and easy way to make ham.

Buy ham that is already cut up (like John Morrell or the like). Or buy some cut thicker from the deli. Either way it is already cooked and cut up, you just have to warm it. You can do this same process for a chunk of ham (not sliced) but sliced is easier.

Spread the ham out in a pan.

Make a sauce one of the following two ways:

Option #1) Mix brown sugar and water. Make it thicker than you think (it will get thinner as it cooks). Pour over the ham. Sprinkle the top of ham with whole cloves. (Remove cloves before eating).

Option #2) Brown sugar, water, mustard, ketchup. Make it thicker than you think (it will get thinner as it cooks). Pour over the ham. Sprinkle the top of ham with whole cloves. (Remove cloves before eating).

You can also put pineapple chunks or rings on top before baking.

Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

You really cannot mess this up...it turns out no matter how you make it and what proportions of ingredients you use.

I used 1 pkg of John Morrell and it was about $7.99 at Smiths. I could have split it and made two meals from it for my family of 5 eaters.
