Tender Virginia Ham

Let the ham soak in water overnight

Remove the dark skin from the ham, but leave all the fat

Cut the ham into diamond shapes over the fat, being careful not to cut the meat

Cover the ham with a mixture of golden syrup, sugar, and mustard

Place the ham in the oven at medium heat

Dust with the remaining topping while it's baking and baste with fruit juice (orange, pineapple, etc.) every 10 minutes or so

Bake for approximately 2 1/2 hours

The ham is ready when the topping is well caramelized

Serve surrounded by fruits in syrup.
