Charmaine Neville's Sweet Baked Ham

"After looking for a new ham recipe for Easter, we came across this one on the New Orleans Times Picayune website. Charmaine Neville, sister to the Neville Brothers, submitted this recipe and said, "You know how ham tastes salty? Well, I don't play that," Neville said for the story. "Mine has got to be sweet to the bone. I always use Chisesi ham. You can get it spiral-sliced at the supermarket. Spiraling is the secret, so it soaks up all the marinade.""
