Lime Glazed Leg of Lamb
A great alternative to the usual lemon, garlic, rosemary seasoning for lamb. Lamb comes out juicy and flavorful. Baste is also good on other meats and poultry.

My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. It may sound hard, but once you get your system going, it's really fun! Enjoy!
Jamon Borracho (Drunken Ham)
This ham is to die for. Sounds to difficult to make but it is very simple. I serve this dish during Easter or Christmas, or whenever I'm in the mood for ham. The flavors of the Dijon mustard and the brown sugar are intensified with the orange rum. Igniting rum will help glaze the ham and melt any remaining sugar, plus it looks cool, too.
