Kitchen Gossip
A ham with a bone in is one of my family’s favorite meals. It’s classic with a side of scalloped potatoes and a big fresh salad. I like a bone-in ham because I think the bone adds flavor and you can use it and the leftover ham to make great lentil soup or baked beans. A ham takes next to no work other than adding a flavorful glaze about 30 minutes before the ham reaches its done temperature. Putting the glaze on any earlier will cause it to burn on the ham.
