Servings: 12

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons butter

1 5-pound good quality cooked ham

2 medium onions, chopped

4 tablespoons Chopped pecans, chopped medium fine

Equipment:

oven

roasting pan

bowl

sauce pan

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350. In a small bowl, mix the pecans, sugar, and five-spice powder with the butter until you have a fine, crumbly mixture. Rub generously over the ham, patting the crust with your hands.
  2. Scatter the onions in the bottom of a heavy roasting pan and add about 2 cups water. Place the ham on the bed of onions. Slide the pan into the oven and roast for about 2 hours, checking to make sure theres still liquid in the pan. As the water evaporates, add a bit more. The ham is done when a nice glaze forms on the outside.
  3. The pecan mixture and the water in the pan will create their own sauce to pour over the ham after youve sliced it into beautiful pink rounds. If the sauce seems too thin, just pour into a saucepan and reduce it.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
