Place a 6-8lb fully cooked bone-in ham in a roasting pan. Score the surface and stud with cloves if desired. Cover in foil & roast at 325 degrees for 1.5 hours. In a small saucepan, combine a cup of orange soda, a cup of orange marmalade, and a half a cup of brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes until reduce by half. Stir in a quarter cup Dijon mustard. Glaze the ham and bake another 30 minutes, continuing to glaze with remaining orange mustard glaze. Once ham is well-heated thru, it’s ready to slice & eat.

Microwave a 32oz bag of southern-style diced hash browns in a bowl until defrosted. Stir in 2 c. shredded cheddar, 16oz sour cream, can cream of mushroom soup, 1/4 c chopped onion, 1/4 c melted butter, tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper. Pour into greased 13x9 casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
