Whether you are serving it for a family dinner or a special celebration, this recipe will make the most of your ham.  The two keys are a long marinade time and basting often while the meat cooks.  My favorite it cooking it on the grill.

• 1/2 cup ginger ale
• 1 cup orange juice or pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup Chive Blossom or Garlic Vinegar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 tsp Lemon Ginger Curry
• 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped

Mix all marinade ingredients. Put ham and marinade in resealable plastic bag. Marinate ham slice a few hours or overnight. Fire up the grill or broiler or even heat in a pan on top of the stove. Cook ham until done and heated through. Baste during cooking.
