Ingredients

5	pounds	ham	fresh
8	each	scallions, spring or green onions
3	tablespoons	peanut oil
8	slices	ginger	fresh
4	each	garlic cloves	peeled and crushed

Braising liquid
5	cups	water	hot
1	cup	soy sauce, dark
1	cup	rice wine	or dry sherry
3	tablespoons	peppercorns	roasted, whole, szechuan
6	tablespoons	sugar	rock or ordinary
4	each	star anise
2	each	cinnamon sticks	or bark
2	teaspoons	five spice powder
1	teaspoon	salt

Directions

DRY THE HAM THOROUGHLY with paper towels.

Cut the scallions into 3-inch segments.

Choose a heavy casserole or pot, large enough to hold the ham comfortably.

Heat the pot and then add the oil, ginger, garlic and scallions, and stir-fry in the pot for 2 minutes.

Push the aromatics to the side and brown the ham on each side until it has some color, 10 to 15 minutes.

Pour off the oil. Add all the braising liquid ingredients to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover tightly and cook for about 4 1/2 hours, turning the ham from time to time.

When the ham is tender, remove it gently with a large spatula.

The meat should be literally falling apart.

Place it on a serving platter.

Strain the sauce, skim off any surface fat, and reduce the liquid until it is slightly thick.

Pour this over the ham and serve.

50% Reduced Fat Chocolate Syrup Snack Cake

I tried this low-fat chocolate cake last Saturday night to serve to my picky family. I didn't tell them it was low fat. Easy to make and turned out very well. They loved it. My son asked, will you make it for Christmas.
