Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12-14 pound country ham
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2-1/4 cups Madiera wine
1-1/2 cups beef gravy
2 truffles, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Skin the ham and rub the fat with sugar and mustard. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and pour 2 cups of Madeira wine over it. Cover with a lid or foil and bake in a 350F oven. 2. Allow 10 minutes per pound for a ready-to-eat ham. If you are using a previously boiled ham, bake it no more than 1-1/2 hours. 3. Combine 1/4 cup of liquid from the pan in which the ham was baked with remaining Madiera and the beef gravy. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Add the truffles and simmer another minute or so. 4. Serve the ham with Madeira sauce and thin slices of sauteed polenta.
