Hello to everyone on this beautiful sunny and windy North Florida day. I hope this day finds you well and reaching for some little type of joy and calmness. We do have to keep reaching out to discover some, each and every day.
Early this morning as I was sitting out on my little back patio in my rocking chair and having my whiskey cup of coffee for the day, I was enjoying using all my five senses as I sat and marveled at the sights and sounds all around me. The taste was my delicious coffee along with the smell.
I had the sun, warming my legs and shoulders, as I looked up into the most marvelous blue sky, that you could just imagine. I was looking at an old Live Oak tree that is most likely 150 years old. The winds were mightly whipping the dazzling and vibrant green branches that were reaching out to that brilliant blue color of the sky.
I watched the big old crows, swooping, and diving, within the wind currents. They were having so much fun as they played. I saw a little shadow pretty near my bare feet and it was a little brown and bright yellow-bellied, little wren. I imagine that she will be building a nest in my African Daisy plant like they did in the springtime. They raised three, might fine little babies near my bay window and I watched from the laying of the 4 eggs and until the 3 eggs hatching. I also watched Mom and Dad work really hard to feed those babies. I enjoyed that nature experience! Now I really am not sure if they breed in the winter, but the way they are ravenously eating at my bird feeders. I would almost bet upon it! I hope, that I have drawn you a painting with my words, for your day.
The recipe is —- Buy a Cooked Spiral Honey or Brown Sugar Ham. This photo was from last year’s Christmas Community Dinner. And it was bought at Walmart. The price is high, like around $30 on sale. But It has the best flavor that I have ever had.
Buy 2 cans of pineapple rings and 2 bottles of Maraschino cherries. Buy 1 box of brown sugar.
As this ham is already cooked, all it needs is some decorations. Mix a cup of brown sugar with the juice of one of the cans of pineapple rings and also add the cherry juice of one jar into this mix.
Heat oven to 350 degrees and use a 13x 9 pan to put your ham into. When you cut open the package, watch out so that all the juice in the bag does not land all over you. Ask me how I know this!
Use toothpicks to attatch all the pineapple rings and cherries to the ham. Take your sugar juice mixture and pour down into all the spiral slices, throughout the ham. For this to be hot for dinner, you need to slide this in the oven 60 minutes before your Thanksgiving mealtime.
I hope that you enjoy this ham recipe as I know that
we all, truly enjoyed it last Thanksgiving. This ham is not the salty type of ham. While you are already here, take a look at the monthly archives if you wish and also share if you will. Do feel welcome to come back again as I post on Sat-Tue and Thursdays. Warm Holiday Wishes to Every one of you. Connie B.
Oops, I almost forgot! Those little bags on the table were for my 2 mail ladies for Christmas last year. And I will have to treat them again this year, as they always make sure that I get my packages and mail, They were filled with medium size tins of homemade chocolate fudge.
PS As today is December 2020 there is no warm sunshine today. Just wanted to share again. This is what I hope to fix for Christmas Dinner.
350 degrees for 60 minutes as it comes already cooked from Walmart in the ham bin.
