1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 can (6 oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
5 to 7 lb. fully cooked smoked ham

cloves and cinnamon and orange juice concentrate.
Place ham, fat side up, on rack in rectangular
roasting pan, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches.
