So I was making my mom's ham recipe for our christmas(observed) dinner, and I had to call my mom and verify that it really does take that much sugar.
Me: So, a can of pineapple, a *one-pound box* of brown sugar, and a teaspoon of ground cloves? Is that right?
Her: Yep.
Me: A whole pound of sugar?
Her: Yes, a sixteen-ounce box.
Me: Wow, that seems like a lot of sugar.
Her: Oh, no, the cloves cut the sweetness.
Holy. Crap.
But the house does smell like my childhood, and that's usually a good thing. :-)
