Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I make this for my family every year at Easter, and they love it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A terrific and classic glazed ham for the holidays. When baked, the outside gets sugary and sticky thanks to the slightly sweet and tangy glaze. We loved that the pineapple sauce was served separately. This lets your guests drizzle as much (or little) as they want. A wonderful centerpiece for any Christmas or Easter dinner.
