Honey Jerk spiced ham

"Christmas is coming"

I find it interesting that we don’t jerk hams, well I’ll take that back. I have seen a few companies sell jerk seasoned ham. But in the grand scheme of holiday hams, jerk is not on the top of recipes you grab for. Today that may all change. I made a very simple jerk rub, quite similar in flavor and texture to the Walkers wood variety. I added my favorite honey to the mix and made a pretty good ham.

Bacon wrapped Coffee Bourbon Ham

"Christmas is coming"
 

A few weeks ago I did some food styling for Caribbean Passion and made a few hams for them. I love coming up with new ideas to flavor ham. Of the three I made for them the coffee bourbon maple ham was epic. I mean really really delicious. I knew I had to recreate this dish in some way for the blog. And here it is, with bacon and cherries.

Sorrel Glazed Ham

"Christmas is coming"

In Jamaica, Christmas is the most loved holiday. It’s a time where we celebrate Christ and family. Once the Poinsettias start to turn red, you know it’s on and popping! With that the fruits are soaking, the sorrel pods are being harvested and everyone is starting to flesh out their Christmas plans. This ham needs to be at the top of list. It’s so moist and delicious and the sorrel and ginger sauce add the most perfect flavor to every bite.
