  1. Pineapple Upside Down Ham

    November 6, 2010 by Tarrant Figlio

    Since her birthday, 15-year-old girl has been talking about pineapple upside down cake, despite the fact that she requested an entirely different cake for her birthday.

    For my mother’s birthday, I decided on pineapple upside down ham. I mashed together a million recipes over the years I have used for ham glaze and came up with this recipe:

    1 ham (I bought one of those presliced, precooked boneless hams, about 3-5 lbs)
    1 can sliced pineapple drained
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 can Coca-cola
    2 tsp dry ground mustard
    1 tsp ground ginger
    cloves

    Place pineapple rings in the bottom of a baking pan. Place ham on top. Combine brown sugar, Coca-cola, mustard and ginger in a bowl and whisk until smooth. It makes a very thin glaze. Stud ham with cloves. Pour glaze over ham. Bake for 15 min per pound or by the directions on your ham. Flip onto serving platter OR serve from the baking dish like a heathen. (This is what we generally do.)

  2. Chopped Ham Salad Mold

    March 26, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    This is a tasty retro jell-o way to use up the last of the ham and hard boiled eggs from Easter. Sort of a tomato aspic meets ham salad. I prefer using V-8 in this dish. In fact, I am doing just that later today. Watch for pics.

    Chopped Ham Salad Mold

    1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
    1/4 c. cold water
    1 1/2 c. tomato juice, heated
    1 tsp lemon juice
    1/2 tsp salt
    3 hard cooked eggs, chopped
    1 c. chopped celery
    1/2 c. chopped cucumber
    1/2 c. bell pepper, chopped
    1 tbsp chopped onion
    1/2 c mayonnaise

    Soften gelatin in cold waater. Add hot tomato juice; stir until dissolved. Add lemon juice and salt; chill until partially set. Soak cucumbers in salted water; drain. Combine with all remaining ingredients; fold into thickened gelatin. Pour into mold; chill until firm. Yield: 6 servings
