HOLIDAY HAM

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Secure pineapple and cherries to ham with toothpicks. Combine brown sugar and seasoned salt; rub over ham. Gently pour pineapple juice over ham., Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a thermometer reads 140° and ham is heated through. Baste frequently with brown sugar mixture.

SHEET PAN HOLIDAY HAM DINNER

Steps:

• Arrange 2 oven racks in the middle part of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• For the green beans: Add the green beans, olive oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to a sheet pan. Toss to coat and spread out evenly. Bake on the upper rack until starting to get tender, about 15 minutes.
• For the stuffed mushrooms: Meanwhile, pop the stems from the mushrooms and use a measuring spoon to scoop out any remaining stem. Reserve the stems and bits for another use.
• Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, cream cheese and parsley in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling evenly among the caps.
• For the ham: Line another sheet pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
• Microwave the marmalade in a microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 45 seconds. Add the orange juice, cornstarch, rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.
• Arrange the ham on the prepared sheet pan and brush the glaze on both sides of each ham steak.
• After the green beans have cooked for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven and push them over to the right side of the sheet pan. Add the mushrooms to the left side and drizzle the filling evenly with the olive oil.
• Place the ham on the upper rack and the green beans and mushrooms on the lower rack. Bake, frequently brushing the ham with the glaze, until the glaze starts to thicken up, about 25 minutes.
• For the rolls: Remove the green beans and mushrooms from the oven. Push the green beans to the middle of the sheet pan and arrange the dinner rolls on the right side. Brush the rolls with the melted butter.
• Bake until the dinner rolls are softened, the ham glaze is thickened and glossy, the green beans are tender and the mushroom filling is golden, about another 10 minutes.

HOLIDAY HAM AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté with a pinch of salt until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, just to take off that starchy, raw edge, about 2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and whisk to combine. Whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until it just starts to simmer and thicken up. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cayenne. Grate in nutmeg.
• Turn off heat. Stir in Worcestershire and fresh thyme leaves. Reserve until needed.
• Cover the bottom of a deep 10x15-inch casserole dish with about 25% of the reserved sauce. Add a layer of sliced potatoes, seasoning the tops with some of the remaining salt as desired; ladle over 1/3 of the sauce and sprinkle over 1/3 of the grated Cheddar cheese. Layer in ½ of the sliced ham.
• Place another layer of sliced potatoes on top and season with salt. Ladle over ½ of the remaining sauce; repeat layering with Cheddar cheese and ham.
• Place last layer of potatoes on top. Ladle over remaining sauce and spread out with a spatula. Sprinkle over remaining Cheddar cheese.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until browned, bubbling, and potatoes are very tender, about 1 ½ hours. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
