Glazes For Ham, Rubs For Lamb Impart Flavors Of Spring

Just as Peeps and chocolate bunnies are de rigueur in Easter baskets, so is a
leg o lamb or a half ham the quintessential centerpiece for a spring feast. And
because these meats are holiday fare, they need to be dolled up in their
prettiest and tastiest finery. For ham, you want it to shine bright with fruity glazes. With lamb, you need to spread it on thick. Aromatic herbs and spices rubbed into
the meat and left to meld for hours is the ideal treatment

Don’t Overcook The Ham!

Lets make an Easter pledge: We wont put a fully cooked spiral sliced ham in
the oven for two hours. We wont dry out the ham to shoe-leather quality; and thats not just a clich, its a bad taste.
