EASY AND ELEGANT HAM

I love to serve my large family this moist, tender ham. It tastes outstanding, frees up my oven, feeds a crowd and can be readied quickly in the morning. Pineapple, cherries and a delicious orange glaze make it a real showstopper.

TOP TIP

RELISH YOUR LEFTOVERS

If you have leftover ham, you can use it to make a tasty spread. Cut the leftover ham into chunks, then grind it in a food processor along with an onion and a few celery ribs. Add yellow mustard, mayonnaise and sweet pepper relish. Serve on bread, crackers or a lettuce leaf—or stuff it into a tomato!
