10 – 12 pound ham
4 bay leaves
1/2 tsp thyme
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 drops Tabasco sauce
1 canned pineapple slice
2 medium oranges, peeled and sectioned
2 cups hard cider
1 cup rum

Boil ham as directed, adding bay leaves and thyme to the cooking water. Place in baking pan; carefully tear off rind and remove any excess fat. Combine sugar, mustard, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces and spread over entire surface of ham, patting it down with the hand. Put the pineapple slice in center of ham, arrange sections of orange around it, and sprinkle entire surface with blended cider and rum. Place in very hot oven (400-450° F), pouring any remaining cider and rum into the pan and bake about 3/4 of an hour, basting occasionally with liquid in the pan.
