Welcome

This is my first blog which was inspired by joining The Produce Box, a local community supported agriculture group. With a weekly delivery of fresh produce, I have been challenged to create healthy nightly meals using ingredients I may not have purchased on my own.

Below is a compilation of weekly meals using the produce delivered by The Produce Box as well as some other recipes which have inspired me.

Cola Glazed Ham Recipe Weekend update

Thrusday's recipe for the ham I made.  
Classic Cola-Glazed Ham
  • 1 (6- to 7-lb.) fully cooked, bone-in ham
  • 30 to 32 whole cloves
  • 1 (16-oz.) box dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup spicy brown mustard
  • 1 cup cola soft drink
  • 1/2 cup bourbon or apple juice
Preparation
  • 1. Remove skin from ham, and trim fat to 1/4-inch thickness. Make 1/4-inch-deep cuts in a diamond pattern, and insert cloves at 1-inch intervals. Place ham in an aluminum foil-lined 13- x 9-inch pan.
  • 2. Stir together brown sugar and next 3 ingredients until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over ham.
  • 3. Bake at 350° on lower oven rack for 2 hours and 30 minutes, basting with pan juices every 20 minutes. Remove ham, and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
**I didn't use all the cloves in the recipe.   I also used the bourbon.- Yummy!!
