Baked Canna-Glazed Ham

This dish is one I learned from my mother - sans cannabis. It has always been a family favorite and one the most-demanded dishes in our home. The first time she made it was when I was 18 years old, and we had a huge get together at our place. I can still remember it’s aroma wafting throughout our home, and I ran to the kitchen to ask her what she was cooking. It smelled just as good as it tasted.It’s been over 2 years since I’ve been making this at home - with cannabis - and I can proudly say that I’m an expert at it now.This baked beauty is super-tasty and super-easy to make, and one those big event dishes that you can serve to impress your guests - many guests. I usually make it on Christmas & New Year’s, and my guests always love & appreciate it. I made it last weekend, when my neighbors came over - later, we used the leftovers to make sandwiches.The recipe I’m sharing today is basically my mom’s recipe, with some slight changes made to it.
- 1 8-12 oz. smoked cured ham
- 1/8 cup whole cloves
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup apple cider
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup cannaoil
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- salt, to taste
- Preheat the oven at 300°F.
- Stud ham with whole cloves, and bake in the oven, while preparing glaze.
- In a medium saucepan, combine cannabis-infused oil, mustard, brown sugar, cloves, apple cider & salt. Bring up to a simmer on low heat, stirring frequently. Allow the mixture to cool for about 20 - 30 mins. Note: The longer you cook it, the thicker the glaze will be.
- Generously, brush the ham with glaze.
- Bake for 1 - 2 hrs, basting frequently.
- Allow it to rest for 20 min, before slicing.
