This ham is crusted with crushed pineapple, garlic and honey before being baked for a unique and different Island Style dinner.
I entertain a lot during the months of November and December and don't always have time to share all the recipes that I create and serve during the holiday season. So they go into an archive until I can get to them.
When my friend Jolene, of Jolene's Recipe Journal, invited the Festive Foodies to celebrate National Garlic Day with her, I knew that this ham was perfect for the event.
Let's take a look at what the others are sharing for this National Food Holiday........
We are garlic lovers in this house. My motto is there is no such thing as too much garlic so National Garlic Day is recognized each year. You may enjoy some of these recipes I have shared. Lebanese Garlic Sauce, Garlic Pull Apart Rolls, 40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken, or Homemade Creamy Garlic Salad Dressing.
This ham could be glazed and cooked on a gas grill outdoors for a Summertime Island Style gathering as well. I, for one, am very anxious for summer to arrive.

I bet you can't wait for summer what with all of the new snow! Love this ham. Smart to save the photos and recipes for events like this.
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of recipes archived Karen. I can't write all the food that I make, it's crazy. There are so many events that I rarely have time to just blog what I made for dinner.
DeleteThis would make a perfect Sunday meal!
