RIMASTO HAM AL FORNO

(LEFTOVER HAM BAKE)

THIS IS A RECIPE I CREATED MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH NEW WAYS TO USE LEFTOVER SPIRAL CUT HAM AFTER HOLIDAYS.

AFTER ALL THE SLICES ARE ENJOYED THERE IS ALWAYS LOTS OF GREAT MEAT REMAINING THAT IS  ATTACHED TO THE HAM BONE.

THIS HAS BECOME A FAMILY FAVORITE
