Chop the vegetables and sauté them gently in butter with the sugar, a little thyme and a bay leaf until the onions are translucent. 4. Add 1/2 cup Madeira and let it evaporate almost completely. 5. Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover with the vegetable mixture, drizzle with melted butter, cover and cook in the preheated 400° F oven for 20-25 minutes per pound. 6. Remove the ham from the oven and transfer to a serving platter,reserve the vegetables. 7. Degrease the cooking juices and pour them into a small saucepan; you should have about 1 cup; if not, add some water or stock; add the remaining 1/2 cup Madeira. 8.
