“The Art of Jam ‘n Jelly Glazing”
Pineapple Glaze
Combine equal parts of pineapple jam and French’s Prepared Mustard. Spread over ham and bake. Garnish with tidbits or slices of pineapple arranged in flower patter on hame with cloves to hold them in place for a festive touch.
Cranberry Glaze
Heat one can (1 pound) jellied cranberry sauce over low heat, stirring with a fork to speed softening. Blend in 2 tablespoons French’s Prepared Mustard and 2 tablespoons French’s Worcestershire Sauce. Baste ham several times with glaze; serve any leftover glaze as a sauce. Garnish platter with cranberry slices cut in festive shapes with cookie cutters. For a holly garnish use whole cranberries with leaves cut from green pepper. Orange shells filled with cranberry sauce are good, too!
“Baked Ham with Fruit Jam and Jelly Glazes”
Bake ham according to the wrapper instructions or type of hame. 15 to 20 minutes before hame is done, take out of the oven. Increase oven heat to 400-degrees. Remove rind, if any, from ham. Score fat criss-cross; stud with French’s Whole Cloves. Spread with one of the following glazes. Return to oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned. The glaze is sufficient for a 12 to 14-pound ham.
Currant Glaze
Mix equal parts of currant jelly and French’s Prepared Mustard. Spread over ham and bake. Cranberry or plum jelly will be equally delicious.
