I wanted to try a new and different Easter ham recipe. I was thrilled with the result of my strange-sounding but wonderful-tasting recipe! Our family and friends raved, and they all asked for the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 boneless ham , 8 pound
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage , 12 fluid ounce
- 1 cup grape juice
- 1 can sliced pineapple , 20 ounce
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
2
Use a knife to score diagonal lines onto ham, about 1 inch apart. Place ham in a large roasting pan and pat brown sugar over entire surface. (It is okay if some sugar falls into the pan.)
-
3
Bake in the preheated oven until sugar begins to melt off ham, about 30 minutes. Remove ham from the oven and pour cola, grape juice, and reserved pineapple juice into the pan. Baste ham with cola mixture and return to the oven.

Continue basting every 20 minutes, for about 2 hours. Cut pineapple rings in half. Remove ham from the oven and float pineapple rings in the drippings. Allow ham to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with pineapple and sauce.

Middle Eastern Kibbeh
This Middle Eastern Kibbeh recipe is inspired by a dish traditionally made with lamb, but beef is acceptable, too. I prefer it shaped into patties and fried, but it's often baked in restaurants. Serve kibbeh with tahini, a sesame seed paste.
Fajita Cheeseburger
Chef John describes his fajita cheeseburger as "spicy, hot and juicy, and pretty much perfect." The spices and fajita vegetables go beautifully with the pan-fried burger and Monterey Jack cheese, and the gorgeous mayo-toasted bun is a signature touch.
Limeabalemon Glaciate
Slightly bitter and extremely refreshing, this is one instance of what I have dubbed blender-miracles. Throw everything in and blend away! Make sure to use a well-ripened banana to add extra sweetness. If the end result is still slightly too bitter, blend in sugar to taste. This pairs nicely with a balsamic salad.
