Baked Ham With Cumberland Sauce

5 lb Ham
1/2 c Brown sugar
1 t Dry mustard
Whole cloves*

Cumberland sauce

1 c Currant jelly
1/4 c Orange juice
1/4 c Lemon juice
1/4 c Apple juice
2 T Honey
1 T Cornstarch

Remove skin from ham; score the surface with shallow diagonal
cuts, making diamond shapes. Mix brown sugar and mustard;
rub into fat of ham. Insert a whole clove in center of each diamond.
Place ham in a large roaster with a baking rack. Bake,
uncovered at 325~ for 20 - 22 minutes per pound. For
sauce, combine all the ingredients in a medium
saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened,
stirring often. Serve over the slice ham.

*Note: If you don't want to deal with the whole cloves, a teaspoon ground mixed
into the brown sugar will give the same flavor.

Prayer for Today

I met my husband in a 12-Step program and the first part of this prayer is used
there. Many people have never seen the prayer in it's entirety. There are lines
that are different from the original text but the basic meaning remains the same.

The Serenity Prayer
Reverend Reinhold Niebuhr
1943

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can; and
the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make all things right, if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
