Description
This recipe creates a very tasty succulent ham and is� so easy to prepare.� I created the recipe 25 years ago when my brother and his wife showed up unexpectedly, and I had to rely on what� was on hand to create a meal for 8 people.� My brother raved and raved about the flavor and texture of the ham, so� I knew I'd created a winner.� Since then I have used this technique for fixing ham� for holiday and church potluck dinners.� The leftovers make divine Monte Cristo sandwiches, split pea soup, Minestrone, and Chef Salads.

1 orange, thinly sliced

1 lemon, thinly sliced

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
