Preparation and Cooking:

• Use a separate cutting board when prepping raw beef.  Wash the board thoroughly in hot, soapy water using the same board for any other ingredients.
• Never put cooked beef back on the same plate you used for raw meat, and make sure to use clean utensils as well.
• Don’t leave cooked food sitting out at room temperature for more than two hours.
• Use an ovenproof or instant-read thermometer to prevent over- or undercooking. Refer to safe cooking temperatures below.
• Roast meats at oven temperatures of 325°F or above.

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 (16.5 ounce) can pitted dark sweet cherries

1. Place ham in a roasting pan. Score surface of ham with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes. Combine the brown sugar, syrup and mustard; rub over ham and press into cuts. Cover and bake at 325 degrees F for 1-3/4 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees F and ham is heated through.
