Country Ham in Pineapple Sauce with Dried Cherries and Raisins

Nothing can compare to a Virginia baked ham, but any good-quality ham used in this recipe will yield surprisingly delicious results. This is truly one of those foolproof throw-everything-in-the-cooker-and-walk-away kind of dishes. Mashed potatoes and green beans make a great accompaniment.

Cooks' Note

Suggested Beverage: A crisp, aromatic white wine such as a Gewürztraminer or a Sauvignon Blanc Musqué with a bit of residual sugar. Or explore some of the well-made wines now coming out of Virginia.
