WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

COUNTRY HAM WITH MUSTARD GLAZE

1 (5 lb) fully cooked boneless ham
1/2 cup brown or stone-ground mustard
1 jar (18-oz) sugar-free or low-sugar orange marmalade
2 tbsp dry mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the ham, fat side up, on a meat rack in a baking pan; score fat.

In a bowl combine the brown or ground mustard, marmalade, dry mustard, garlic, and ginger until mixture is well blended.  Divide mixture in half and set one of the halves aside.  Brush the ham with the remaining half.

Bake ham at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees; brush with the remaining glaze mixture every 15 minutes.

Remove ham from oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before slicing.  Serve with the remaining sauce, if desired.

Yield: 12 servings
