Steps:

• Prepare the ham; Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Trim the skin and the fat to a 1/4 inch layer on the ham. Score the fat in a diamond pattern (using a sharp knife). Insert a whole clove into each cross-hatch, pat the mustard over the top and sides of the ham, and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Pour the maple syrup and chicken broth into a 12 x l7 inch roasting pan. Add the ham. Bake, basting every 30 minutes, for 1 1/2 hours. Add the bourbon, orange juice, and thyme to the pan. Sprinkle the ham with the maple sugar, if desired. Bake basting after 15 minutes, for 30 minutes and remove from the oven.
• Prepare the sauce: Strain the pan juices and skim the fat off the top. Add the orange zest and salt, and boil for about 10 minutes. Serve hot with the ham.

• Lightly brush salmon with Grand Marnier. Coat salmon on both sides with herb mixture and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hours).
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Dissolve cornstarch in enough hot water to make a smooth paste. Slowly whisk in liquid glaze ingredient. Whisk until smooth.
• Place salmon in shallow baking dishes. Spoon glaze over fish.
• Cook until done (about 20 minutes for 1 inch fillets or 25 for 2 inch fillets. )Baste the fish once or twice during cooking It should flake easily.
• Decorate with orange slices. Shown in the picture here with a lemon pig.
• To make a lemon pig - choose the snout end of the pig and decide which will be the bottom. Cut the bottom off so the pig will sit flat. At the snout end cut two flaps for the ears. Pull them out a little so the will stand out but not too much or it will break. Use cloves for the eyes.
