- 2 smoked bone-in ham slices, each about 1 lb. and 1/2 in. thick

- 2 1/2 c. extra spicy Bloody Mary mix

- 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar

- 1 tsp. cider vinegar

- 1 orange, peeled, sectioned and chopped

- 2 stalks celery, chopped

- 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped *(optional)

Wear plastic or rubber gloves to finely chop chile and afterwards wash hands well with soap and water.

Directions:

1. Stir together Bloody Mary mix, brown sugar, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl. Set aside 3/4 c. Bloody Mary marinade.
