Ingredients

• 1 (12oz.) fresh ham, skinned
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1 large onion
• 3 whole cloves
• 1 celery rib
• 1 garlic clove, sliced

Directions

1. Make 1/4-inch-deep cuts in ham; rub ham with salt and pepper, and place, fat side up, in a roasting pan. Stud onion with cloves, and place in pan with celery and garlic.
2. Bake at 325 degrees for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 160 degrees (about 20 minutes per pound), basting with wine. Remove ham from pan. Skim fat from drippings.
