A Slice of Baked Ham

• 1 slice ham, about 1 pound*
• About 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• Milk (up to 1 cup)
• 3 or 4 fresh sage leaves, if available, or 3 dried, or a sprinkling of dried rosemary
• 23 teaspoons dark-brown sugar

1. Put the ham in a shallow baking dish that will just accommodate the slice, and smear the mustard on top.
2. Pour milk all around, enough to almost cover the surface, lay the sage leaves on top, and sprinkle the sugar over it.
3. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 1 hour, occasionally opening the oven and spooning some of the curdling milk over the top.
4. Your first portion of this will taste particularly good with a puree of parsnips (or another root vegetable) mixed with potatoes alongside.
5. There are many, many suggestions for using the rest of the ham throughout these pages.
