#75 :: Easter Dinner :: Glazed Ham

I love Easter dinner. I remember when I was young, my mom would always make Easter dinner and dress me up in my cute little Easter dress. My grandparents would come over all dressed up in their Sunday best, and we'd all eat dinner together. Now that I'm grown and preparing my own Easter dinners, I always have to make my mom's ham. It just wouldn't be Easter without it!




Ingredients

1 pre-cooked sliced ham (choose your favorite, sliced as thick as you like)
1/2 c brown sugar
1 can pineapple rings
Maraschino cherries (optional)


Directions

To make the glaze, mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar with 1 Tbsp. of pineapple juice from the can of rings. Add more pineapple juice if necessary to get to the right glaze consistency. It should be spreadable, but not watery.

Arrange the ham slices in a baking pan and bake at 325 for 10-15 minutes. Remove the ham, brush on the glaze, and pour the remaining glaze over the ham. Add pineapple rings on top of each slice, and add a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring. Then put it back into the oven to bake for another 10-15 minutes.


Makes enough glaze for 4-6 slices.

#31 :: Mango Crisp {Microwave Dessert}

Holy moly, we found a delicious microwave dessert. Yes, I said microwave! We were definitely skeptical, but it turned out to be absolutely delicious! Frozen mangos are going to become a staple in our freezer!

Ingredients:

• 5 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced, or mixture of sliced mangoes and apples (we used a bag of frozen mango chunks)
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup flour

Directions:

Mix sliced mangoes with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, the nutmeg, and lemon juice. Place in a buttered 10 x 6 x 2 inch glass baking dish. Set aside. Combine butter and brown sugar until well blended. Cut in flour and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over mango slices. Cook in microwave oven 9 to 11 minutes on HIGH power, rotating a half turn after 5 minutes. Serve warm or cold, with whipped topping or ice cream, if desired.
