Hams and Apricot

For Easter, I normally purchase spiral hams and make Apricot and Ginger Glazed Ham. This year, I wanted to break from tradition and make a real ham, which meant I’d be able to control the slicing, thickness, scale, and shape of the ham, making it more “organic” and natural. It doesn’t seem to be as perfect as it seems. I still say that food is imperfect, just like life. Take advantage of the subtleties!

Tasty ham recipes

I must admit that this Buttermilk Pork Chops & Sweet Apricot Glaze was much more moist and flavorful, and I simply followed the instructions on the package. The glaze was incredible! I had some leftover, so I just put it in a bowl, and it worked perfectly for dipping the ham slices in. The bone, fat, and trimmings were placed in the crab traps…oh, yeah, that should bring in some major blues!

How to make easy ham

Oh, and there’s one more thing to say about this ham and recipe. Yes, it was featured in the Spring 2016 issue of Taste of Home magazine.

Baked ham at home

Honey ginger glazed brussels sprouts are one of our favorite Easter, Christmas, and other holiday meals! My kids prefer glazed ham to turkey, and I love how easy it is to prepare! Ham requires very little preparation (especially if you cook a spiral ham), and we love the leftovers almost as much as the ham itself!

    Hi Ally!!! Have really been enjoying watching you and Bobby 😉Great team you two!!! Your ham looked delicious 😋 Just for clarification, no spiral ham? Thanks and looking forward to following you in the New Year🎆

    1. Hi, Sunny! Thank you, luv! Yes, we have a lot of fun in the kitchen…two different generations who blend perfectly! 🙂 I’ve not done this w/a spiral ham, but I think you could do so. It’s already got those spiral slices so the sauce would ooze into them. I think I’d probably make more sauce depending upon the size of your ham. Let me know how you likeeee, luv! xoxx ~ally

  3. Do you think this could be done with fresh raspberries or blackberries instead of apricots? I can’t have apricots.

    1. Gosh, I would sure try it. I think my first choice would be raspberries. You could also use peaches. Frozen peach slices are the best. Dole’s are amazing. Let me know what you try and how you likeee! xoxo ~ally

  4. Lovely story sweet Ally! I am waiting to hear about your new adventures to start happening again this year!!!

    1. Dearest Ronna, Thank you for visiting w/me and this dear comment. Yes, 2021, hopefully, will let all of us kind of ‘live’ again. Like the good ol’ days. Now don’t be a stranger! ally xoxo

    1. Yes, the eagle has landed. This is not thru the FB plugin, right? xo

  5. Ally, I hear ya on that “ham slice thickness.” Nothing worse than a wonderful tasting ham dried out beyond belief due to premature slicing and/or “wimpy” slices. Give me a good ol’ hunk o’ham any day (with a zesty glaze!) Love what you’ve done with the place… er, ah… ham!

    1. I’m w/ya, Kimmmeeee, girl! No more spirals for alllweee! We’re going for the fat cat hams!! xo
