RECIPES FOR CHRISTMAS

Plan for your Christmas Feast and Gifts HERE!

Holiday Ham with Fruit and Root Beer Glazed

 
BOILING AND SYRUP INGREDIENTS:
BOILING HAM:
1) Place ham in a heavy-bottomed black iron pot or dutch oven.
2) Surround the ham with apples, grapes, orange and cloves. Add root beer and dust with cracked black pepper and file. 3) Bring to a rolling boil and reduce to simmer. Boil approximately 1 hour and turn ham over and continue boiling until root beer is reduced to a thick syrup.
4) Remove ham and set aside. Continue to reduce syrup until it is the consistency of molasses.
CAUTION: Do not burn, or scorch. Remove syrup and place in a mixing bowl, allow to cool and reserve for later.

INGREDIENTS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
1) Place in the mixing bowl, all of the above ingredients except the ham. Using a wire whisk, blend all spices into the mustard mixture until well incorporated.
2) Place ham in center of dutch oven and coat completely with the sweet mustard mixture.
3) *Bake uncovered for 1 hour.
*Preparing a decorated the ham for the table centerpiece. Start by uusing a sharp paring knife to cut slits on eighth inch deep diagonally across the ham. Continue in the same pattern from the opposite side until even triangles appear from the cuts. Stuff with cloves and, using toothpicks, secure pineapple slices or fresh strawberries to the top of the ham before baking.

Peanut Butter Balls

1 STICK of butter or margarine (NOT the soft spreadable or full of water kind) 1 lb powdered sugar
1-16 oz package of semi sweet "REAL" chocolate pieces
1/2 cake of parafin..canning wax
2-4 tlbs milk (as needed to make the "dough" the consistency of cookie dough

In large bowl melt butter, then stir in peanut butter. Mix in powdered sugar. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary (it usually is). Roll them into bite size balls, place on wax paper. Stick a toothpick in the center. Then Freeze them for a few hours. (this makes dipping them easier) IF you are using this for a party item use colored tooth picks and leave them in to make them easier to pick up off the plate)

When PBB's are frozen, melt the wax in a small 1 qt sauce pan then stir in chocolate pieces. When smooth dip the frozen PBB's in the chocolate. Replace on the wax paper. Remove toothpick and fill the tiny hole with chocolate. Store in Fridge.

YUM, YUMs.

I love Peanut Butter Balls, it was the cookie of choice of Angelique. She baked and brought them by the dozens to every Freep gathering held at election rallies in Arizona. Thanks for your recipe and the "Throw away the keys" link on your site...If only... :)
