"This recipe is amazing, it really works! And it makes your ham exceptionally moist and tender. It works for ham steaks too. Start marinade the morning before you plan to bake the ham. Found this recipe years ago on epicureandotcom under Canadian recipes. The recipe includes instructions for basting for ham while baking too, although I haven't tried the baste."
