(for an uncooked ham)

The day before you are ready to BBQ, make this baste: dice one bell pepper, 1/3 onion, and 4 cloves garlic. 1 stalk celery; add to a mixture of: 12 oz. can of tomato sauce, 1 can of tomato soup, 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup vinegar 1/2 tsp. of red pepper, course ground pepper as desired, 1/4 – 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 Tbls. prepared horseradish. Cook this for 3-6 hours on low, cool and refrigerate.

After placing the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan, baste it with this mixture and cook VERY slowly (continuing to add the baste periodically) for around 5 hours or until you have an internal temp. of 160-170 degrees. Slice and dine!

* This recipe is great for that big summer gathering, and you too can play horseshoes or volleyball while this is cooking! Just don’t forget to keep adding your baste.
