Caramelized Smoked Ham ("Virginia-Style Smoked Ham")

Soak the smoked ham in water overnight

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

Cut the fat into squares, being careful not to cut into the meat itself

Mix Karo, sugar, and mustard together and cover the ham

Add whole cloves to the ham, forming a design as desired

Place the ham in the oven at medium heat, preheated

As the ham is cooking, baste it with the remaining Karo mixture and drizzle with wine or fruit juice

The ham will be done when the glaze is well caramelized and glossy

Serve with halves of filled bread accompanied by raspberry gelée.
