CINNAMON APPLE RINGS

Slash fat along edges of ham to prevent curling. Spread hot sauce over surface of ham, and place in a lightly greased 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish. Bake at 325F for 25 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 140F. Transfer to a serving platter; serve with Cinnamon Apple Rings. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

CINNAMON APPLE RINGS:

Stick cloves into apple rings. Combine water and candies in a large skillet; bring to a boil, stirring until candies dissolve. Add apple rings; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or just until apple rings are tender, turning several times.

Remove apple rings from skillet. Add sugar to skillet, and bring to a boil; boil 3 minutes. Pour syrup over apple rings, turning to glaze both sides. Cool slightly. Yield: 8 servings.
