Jamaican Glazed Ham

Ham is something I feel you can eat anytime. It doesn't have to take a special holiday. One thing that is indeed a treat on the island is ham. Traditionally it is mostly a "holiday" thing, but as Jamaica is becoming more Westernized it is something that can be found in the shopping markets all the time.



1 lb. (5 kgs) ham
1 bottle marmalade
2 tsps. grated orange rind
2 cups fresh orange segments
5 medium ripe bananas
2 Tbsps. fresh lime juice
1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
15 whole cloves
2 Tbsps. vinegar
