Glazing a ham

Ho ho ho, ye socks!

I'm taking a break out of my holiday-making here in Apopka to wish you all Yuletide Greetings.

I am spending Christmas Eve learning something new: how to glaze a ham.

Traditionally, I bake a plain old Smithfield this time of year.

But, today, Winn Dixie was sold out!!

All they had left were a bunch of spiral-cut hams with glaze packages.

So, what's an elf to do, right?

Anyway, I just added the glaze and stuck the ham back in to the oven for the last couple of minutes.

I guess I better run back downstairs and check on it. I'll let ye know how it turned out!

I hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS tomorrow!
