Thanks to my very good friend Melissa Myers Krieger in Idaho for two really good recipes. She was able to sample my Pumpkin Bread this week as I sent her some. Now she cant get enough, right Melissa? Thanks again for the recipes for the Funeral Potatoes aka Cheesy Potatoes and the Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Cant wait to try them.
Tomorrow is Christmas and that means Ham baby.. I have a really good recipe for preparing the ham. The key is to keep putting the glaze on during the baking process and to use whole cloves in the ham.. Put the cloves into the ham 30 minutes prior to cooking.. Be generous with them. You can add some pineapple rings on the ham after doing this for additional flavor but that is completely optional. I like them on there and they add extra flavor.
Here are the key ingredients needed for this glaze
One can of crushed pineapple- use the juice too.
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup water
pinch of kosher salt
2 tbsp Dark Karo syrup- optional
Bring these items to a boil in a small saucepan and let thicken..
Brush glaze on ham prior to cooking generously all over..
After an hour in the oven, brush ham again w glaze and then bake and do again about 30 minutes before taking out of the oven. Let ham sit for about a half hour. Remove the whole cloves in the ham and slice and serve... YUM!!!!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!
