Bread crumbs

Old bread (at least one day) or bread from the freezer, thawed completely (on the countertop). This can be almost any kind, including whole grain breads or hamburger buns. Refer to the following site for more information and tips: https://www.jessicagavin.com/how-to-make-bread-crumbs/

Grind bread in a food processor and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 300ºF for 10 minutes (until lightly toasted and dry), stirring occasionally. Completely cool on the baking sheet.

For italian bread crumbs, try mixing

• 1 cup of homemade bread crumbs
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Ham glaze

1 10lb bone-in fully cooked ham
1/3-1 c. (depending on how sweet you want it) packed brown sugar
2/3 c. pineapple-orange juice (or 1/3 c. each)
1/3 c. honey
2-3 T. (Dijon) mustard
1/4 t. orange zest
1/4 t. ground cloves
pineapple rings

1. Place ham in roasting pan and cook at 300-325 degrees in a roasting pan, covered.

2. In a small saucepan combine the remaining ingredients (except pineapple rings). Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-10 minutes. Set aside.

3. Check ham after 1.5-2 hours (should be almost up to 140 degrees). Remove from oven, turn up to 350 degrees. Brush with glaze and secure pineapple rings to the ham with toothpicks (don't use colored toothpicks, as the color leeches into the food). Brush with glaze every 10 minutes for next 20-40 minutes.
