Having a good ham to mark special occasions is just one of those traditions that we Southerners just can’t seem to live without. So making ham preparation easy is of the utmost. That’s why it’s important to buy a pre-cooked ham. One that has been smoked is always a favorite around here. Sometimes, your local BBQ joint will even smoke one for you!
That way, when we get the ham and “bake” it, all we’re really doing is heating it up. That’s also why a little glaze and basting is so important. It keeps the ham from drying out and adds layers and layers of rich, bright flavor!
And just look at that marvelousness! You just know that it’s going to be melt-in-your mouth tender and delicious! And when this sweet and spicy beauty graces your table, don’t be surprised if your friends and family ask if you’re the real star of the show!
