Instructions
  1. Chop onion into bite size bits
  2. Saute onion in butter in a 4 quart saucepan
  3. When onion starts to turn translucent, stir in flour slowly, being careful not to burn, to make a thick paste
  4. slowly stir in milk and continue to cook until it thickens (10-15 minutes)
  5. remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 of the cheddar. Will melt from heat of the sauce.
  6. Wash cod, and pat dry on paper towel
  7. Add cod to glass baking dish
  8. pour sauce over, and spread evenly
  9. sprinkle remaining cheddar on top
  10. Bake at 375 for approximately 45 minutes
Recipe Notes

Just some notes:

  • Add more or less cheddar to individual tastes
  • season cod as desired before adding sauce. We don't cook with salt, but do add pepper
  • We often cook a little longer because we don't preheat.  Keep an eye out, cheddar on top should be golden brown, and sauce bubbling well.

Ham and Glaze
  1. Trim the ham, especially the thick "rind"
  2. Scour the top of the ham in a crosshatch pattern. Add one whole clove at each intersection.
  3. Bake ham at 400 F for one hour.
  4. Mix glaze ingredients together, and spoon about 1/2 over the ham. Note: We don't measure much, may need to adjust to taste with experience.
  5. Continue baking, and repeat glaze about 1/2 hour before cooking is complete.
  6. Cooking time is of course dependent upon size of ham, use your judgement, or meat thermometer.
Sauce
  1. Add pineapple, including juice, brown sugar, and custard powder to appropriate sized saucepan.
  2. Stir together, and cook over medium low heat till thickened. Stir occasionally.
  3. Add butter, and stir together.
  4. Remove from heat and place in serving bowl to spoon over cooked ham.
Recipe Notes

I really like the leftovers fried up till they get a little crispy on the edges.  I like to put that on bread, but then again, I also like fish sticks and french fries on bread 😉
