  • 6 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 1 cup orange juice

Ham

  1. In large bowl combine flour, 2 tablespoons ginger, the cloves and salt; mix well. Gradually add 2 cups cold water, mixing well with fork. On a lightly floured board, mold dough around top and sides of ham.
  2. Place on rack in shallow roasting pan; insert meat thermometer in center away from bone and bake until internal temperature is 130 degrees F (about 2 hours).
  3. Meanwhile, make glaze.

Glaze

  1. Combine ingredients in small saucepan; bring to boiling, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, and stirring occasionally for 40 to 60 minutes (glaze should measure 1 cup).

  3. Brush ham well with glaze and bake for 25 minutes, brushing twice more. Ham will be shiny and glazed.
