Scoring Ham~
Add an old-fashioned, decorative touch to baked ham by scoring the top and studding it
with cloves. The scoring allows the glaze to penetrate the meat.
1. To score the ham,
use a small sharp knife to
diagonally cut 1/4-inch-deep
parallel lines in the top of the
ham about 1 inch apart.
Make another series of cuts
at right angles to form diamonds.
2. Using your finger, insert a
whole clove in the middle of each
of the diamonds. You may find it
easier to pierce the meat first with
the point of a skewer and then
insert the clove.
