Bargain Easter Ham Recipe!

Around the holidays you see big canned hams on sale and you think- "Yuk! Who would eat that?" OK- I was one of those people- UNTIL this recipe! You will not believe how good this is! Start by purchasing a large canned ham- Dubuque brand or something like it. You can get it on sale at Easter, Christmas, etc- they are good to store for quite awhile in your fridge. The night befoe you serve it, open the can, and cut some large slits on the top. Put the ham in a container taller than the ham- pour a 2 liter of gingerale (Canada Dry, etc.) over the ham, covering it. Put a lid or plastic wrap over it and refrigerate overnight. Next day drain the ham, discarding gingerale. Cut some cheddar cheese to fit into your slits that you made in the top of your ham. Next, wrap several slices of bacon around the outside edges of the ham, securing with toothpicks. Bake 350 degrees until the bacon is crisp and cheese is melted. Slice,serve warm, Enjoy!
