Well, Momma came and went. I hated to see her go. We had such a good time.  The kids really enjoyed having their GoGo here;)  Trying to talk her into coming back up here for Christmas… we’ll see. It’s a beautiful day out. The kids are out and about playing.  They are off this whole next week for Fall Break:)  I wish my school was off this week as well. I sure could use a Florida trip about now.

Aunt Kathy and Martha came over for supper again the other night and I made ham with pineapple. I love this ham so much. It makes terrific sandwiches for several days after and the ham bone is perfect for soup and beans:)  My neighbor, Amy, sends over her ham bones when she makes a ham and I stick them into the freezer until I am ready to use it.  I make my ham the way Momma always made it. I never use the glaze packet that comes with the spiral cut.  I always stick plenty of pineapple rings in with the ham because the kids LOVE pineapple and they are super yummy on a sandwich the next day;)   LSU is playing McNeese at 6 tonight so I need to get this out to yall and get my chicken going:) Yall have a great weekend:) Enjoy!:)

OK, HERE’S What You Need:

1 Spiral Cut Ham

1 Can Coke (not diet)

1 cup (more if you like) brown sugar

2 cans Pineapple rings + juice

Crushed pineapple

Maraschino Cherries

HERE’S What You Do:

I use my Le Creuset Braiser for ham.  I line it with foil. Place your ham in your baking dish. Pack the crushed pineapple on your ham then  pineapple rings on the ham. Pack on your brown sugar. Gently pour your coke over and any of the juice if you want. Cover tightly with foil. Bake on 275 (15 minutes per pound – your center temp should come to 140 F when heated through – this is for the already Precooked spiral cut ham only. NOT a fresh ham).  To serve, slice it up, place your pineapples on top and cherries in the center;)
