Easter Dinner - Ham

Omne vivum ex ovo "All life comes from an egg."
~Roman Proverb


Ham for easter dinner - it's not really a tradition, but it seems that we have it most years...

Deviled eggs, of course (that is a tradition - what else are you going to do with a plethora of hard boiled eggs?)

I cooked the ham with a glaze of brown sugar, orange juice, honey, pineapple and cherries. I just pour everything over the top of the ham and let it cook together, basting on the 1/2 hour or so. After getting the ham out of the oven (cook for approximately 18 minutes/ lb at 350 and let rest for about 20 minutes before carving) I poured the glaze into a gravy boat and spooned the fruit over the sliced ham
.

We also had a fresh green salad, and some crescent rolls.

A "lite" repast compared to what I might usually prepare , but it was perfect afterall.
