"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
One ham - water added brick shaped or a good bone-in center cut (never had much luck with a shoulder cut - to grisly)
- About two cups of red wine - dark like shariz or merlot (drinking quality - never use wine for cooking that you wouldn't drink)
- About two cups of pineapple juice (medium sized if you can find it)
About two cups bottle or can of drinkable beer
Some brown sugar
Some cloves
Directions:
Directions:
Prepare 24 hours before using.
-Rinse off ham and gently score with a knife of poke with fork enough to ensure that fluids can soak in.
Put into a glass dish or get a good sized aluminum pan at the store.
- First pour some wine, beer, and pineapple juice in the bottom of the pan. Place in the ham and then (here's your choice - rub some brown sugar over the ham before placing in the pan)
- Then pour rest of beer, wine and pineapple juice over the ham and let it sit over night - turning it every so often
- When ready to cook, drain off about 2/3rds of the liquid and keep for adding to ham as it cooks and cover with an aluminum hood.
- Place in some cloves at this time.
- About 20 minutes before done, put on your choice of orange or peach jam and pineapple rings if you like. Secret is to keep the ham moist - kind of steaming with the mixture. Cook at the recommended time and temp as the ham instructions
