Ten years ago, who would've thought that Skins's island would go so far downhill that one would be compelled to use their recipes, rather than their politics, for purposes of comedy and amusement?

sic transit Gloria mundi, one supposes.

Looking for a really good ham recipe

I promised wifey i would make one for Sunday dinner but I have never made one before! I found a mock honey baked ham recipe but am open to other suggestions. We are going to have twice baked potatoes and asparagus to go with if that helps. Thanks!

4. Okay-first ham?

Hams come both ready to cook and ready to serve (precooked). With ready to serve you only worry about warming the ham and any glazes or spices (whole cloves are good)or pineapple slices etc....You would just be making minor adjustments to taste and working on the appearance because presentation is vital. And that's a nice safety net for a first ham. And oh yeah-you want the butt not the shank if it is not a whole ham. Have fun.

6. start with a decent ham and don't worry about recipes

whole or half ham on the bone NOT pre-sliced, follow instructions that come with ham - most are precooked and just require warming. usually goes by weight but a thermometer for meat is a good investment. I like to warm low and slow covered with foil, keeps it nice and moist though it might not slice quite as nice as a drier version.

personally I don't care for glazes and such good ham doesn't need it. the old standby is to score the fat and lay on canned pineapple slices (and cherries) with brown sugar. other options are mustard and honey, maple syrup, orange marmalade...tons of possibilities
