 Directions

Place ham in large roasting pan and pour pineapple juice and honey over
top. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 325' two hours.

Meanwhile, to make sauce: In large saucepan, pour hot water over currants
and let stand until plumped, about 20 minutes.

Cut orange and lemon rinds into very fine julienne about 3/4 inch long;
poach in simmering water 20 minutes. Drain, discarding water, and set
aside.

Stir cornstarch mixture into currants and water; cook, stirring constantly,
over medium heat until sauce has thickened and become transparent. Add
brown sugar, orange and lemon juice, jelly and wine; stir until jelly is
melted and add prepared orange and lemon rinds and black cherries. Serve
warm over ham slices. Makes about five cups of sauce.

Di Note: The Botsford Inn is a very nice, old fashioned restaurant located
in Farmington, Michigan. I had this there and really liked it and managed
to squeeze the recipe out of the chef.
