Recipe Instructions

Place the jam, garlic, wine, stock, butter, and mace in a skillet. Heat gently, stirring, until the jam and butter have melted.

Remove the garlic clove. Serve the ham with the sauce and garnish with parsley.

Variation: There are several simple variations on this recipe -- all work equally well. If sour cherry jam is unavailable, use black cherry jam and add the juice of half a lemon. Try making the sauce with red currant jelly, and substitute slices of tongue, corned beef, turkey, pastrami, or smoked loin of pork for the ham.
