Tonight for dinner: Baked ham, candied yams, and kernel corn.

I put a 2lb ham in a small roasting pan with about a cup of water and covered.  I put it in the oven at 375*F for approximately an hour.  While this cooked I prepared the yams and glaze.  The corn was just frozen whole kernel corn that I boiled.

Candied Yams
3 large yams
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups small marshmellows

Peel the yams and cut into bite sized pieces.  Put into a pan of water and bring to a boil.  Boil the yams for approximately 10 minutes or until easily poked with a fork.  Drain.  Put the yams into a 9x13 baking pan.  Spread the brown sugar and marshmellows over the top of the yams.  Bake in 375*F oven for about a half an hour or until the marshmellows are nicely browned.

Cranberry Glaze
2 cups fresh cranberries
½ cup orange juice
¾ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp ground all spice
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup honey
½ cup packed brown sugar

Put first five ingredients into a deep fry pan and heat over medium temperature.  Bring to boil.  Use a potato masher to crush the berries. Reduce heat and simmer for three or four minutes.  Add honey and brown sugar.  Stir and simmer for another three minutes.  Pour over sliced ham and bake for 10 minutes at 375*F.

Oh my gosh!  This glaze would be fantastic on turkey!  So good!
