How to make Virginia ham with dressing patties

  • Soak ham in water to cover several hours or overnight, depending on how strong the salt and flavor is.
  • Place ham in large pan.
  • Mix sherry, bay leaves and cloves and pour over ham.
  • Cover and bake at 275 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes per pound, turning periodically.
  • Cool overnight in mixture.
  • Make a paste of remaining ingredients (approximately 1 part vinegar, 2 parts sugar, 1 part mustard and 3 parts bread crumbs) and spread over ham.
  • Dot with additional cloves.
  • Bake uncovered at 400 degrees F for about 30 minutes to brown.
  • Slice thinly and serve with dressing patties.
  • Dressing patties:
    • Grease cookie sheet or miniature muffin tins.
    • Mix together all ingredients.
    • Taste for seasoning, adding more pepper or vinegar as desired.
    • Heat baking pans.
    • If using muffin tins, fill about half full, using about 1 tablespoon of mixture for each muffin.
    • If making patties, use same amount on cookie sheet.
    • Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.
    • Serve hot preferably, but can use cold.
    • The patties may be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
    • Patties are hot and are intended more as a taste enhancer with the ham than as a dressing.
