3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 (8 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
1 (12 ounce) ginger ale
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a paring knife, score the ham, creating a diamond pattern. Insert cloves into the corners of each diamond. Place the ham on a rack set in a 12 x 15-inch roasting pan. Cover loosely with foil, and bake until ham appears juicy, about 30 minutes. Place brown sugar and mustard in a medium bowl, and stir to combine. Gradually add ginger ale to brown sugar mixture until a pourable consistency is achieved; you may not need the whole can. Remove ham from oven and remove foil. Pour brown sugar mixture over ham. Make sure you coat the sides too. Cover ham with foil, return to oven, and cook for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes. Remove foil for last 20 minutes. Remove ham from oven. Arrange pineapple rings and maraschino cherries in a docorative pattern on ham, securing them with toothpicks. Baste the fruit. Bake ham until fruit is heated through, 7 to 10 minutes.

BOSTON MARKET DILL POTATOES
8 medium red potatoes
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cut the potatoes in half, cut the halves in half, then cut the quarters in half, so that you have eight wedges from each potato. Steam the sliced potatoes on a steamer rack over boiling water in a large, covered saucepan for 10 minutes, or until the tip of a knife encounters just a little resistance when stuck into the potatoes. The potatoes will cook a bit more after they come off the heat, so you want to be sure not to overcook them. Combine the melted butter, dill, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. When the potatoes are cooked, dump them into a medium bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the potatoes, then gently toss the potatoes until they are well-coated. Be careful not to toss the potatoes too much or they may start to fall apart, and you don't want mashed potatoes.
