Well, I’ve finally done it. I bought the first ham (of my life) to make for Easter supper. Usually I avoid buying a ham to make for holiday dinners by going with a grilled meat or BBQ — I know, so untraditional– instead. But, I finally decided that I needed to learn how to make a ham since I have a growing army to feed, etc. So, I bought a shank end half ham…and I’m planning on brining it for 24 hours and then baking it covered with a glaze that I got from my Barefoot Contessa cookbook. I really have no idea what I’m doing. I’ll let you know how it turns out. In addition to the ham (if it is edible), we are having cornbread dressing with bacon and pecans, pineapple gratin, roasted asparagus, and rolls. We shall see…..
