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. :-)

That's the exact question I was coming in with, or similar: "Did you remember pineapple and cherries? ;)
