You have plenty of time to plan the holiday meals, but with the temps beginning to lower and gray skies isn’t it a comforting thought to think about them!? Just the idea of a fire in the fireplace surrounded by loved ones has me excited about the promises held in he covers of food publications with cover stories on pumpkin cakes and buttermilk biscuits. As an alternative for Thanksgiving or as the star of your Christmas dinner this recipe for a Maple Glazed Ham is a classic. A simple protein rich dish with fantastic flavor, perfect for your holiday table. Your guests will be delightfully satisfied and so then should you.
