Imagine the best roast you've ever had! Falling apart as you gently touch it with your fork and so tender and juicy! Well, we had a ham like that for supper! I've never even seen a ham with the same falling apart - stringy texture before!
It was Maple Ham with Carmelized Onion with potatoes and steamed broccoli. Absolutely wonderful - but although it wasn't from Michael Smith, it was one that Jamie had seen on the the Food Network!
I'm thinking the fact that the ham was cooked for four hours may have had something to do with it. It was cooked first with just the garlic and caramelized onions added. When it was time to add the potatoes that were cooked in the same pot, the maple syrup was also added. What an unbelievable flavor it brought to the ham which until now I thought could only be done with pineapples!LOL
When the ham and potatoes were ready they were just placed in a casserole dish, butter and flour were added to the left over juices in the pot to make a delicious maple sauce to pour over the supper!
I must say, the kids ate everything on their plates and we ALL had Kitchen Party Medley (vanilla ice-cream with caramel cups and fudge in it) for dessert....I don't know about you, but there doesn't seem to be a better way to top off a weekend than a fabulous supper on Sunday which has to include dessert as well!
Hope you had a great weekend and have some great meals planned for the upcoming week!!!!
As you can imagine, the left over juices that the ham was cooked in was put aside to make what I'm thinking will be the best pea soup we've ever had - I shall keep you posted!
