Dry Ham? Not Anymore!

Published about 4 hours ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

If you've ever ended up with dry, disappointing ham…I am here to help fix that for good.

Whether you opt to use an Instant Pot or oven, I am walking you through how to make a juicy, tender, glazed ham that will guarantee your ham is the centerpiece it should be.

Even better? Each method is EASY!!!

No complicated steps, no guesswork, no basting!

Pick the one that works best for you:

  • ​Instant Pot Ham: If your ham is on the smaller side, the Instant Pot is hands-down the easiest option. The moist heat keeps the ham incredibly tender, and the honey glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the savory flavor. It's fast and frees up your oven for sides--which is a always a win when making a bit meal.
  • ​Baked Ham: If you are working with a larger ham, this is the way to go. With a simple sweet and savory pineapple glaze and low and slow bake in the oven, this glazed ham is tender, flavorful, and worthy of any holiday dinner.

Kristen's Tip: You can use either glaze with either cooking method. Choose what fits your family's taste! The Instant Pot version keeps it simple and the baked version is a bit more complex -- both are delicious!

And remember, don't toss that leftover ham. It's basically a gift to your future self.

Hi Reader, You know I'm all about keeping things simple in the kitchen. And while I don't jump on every trendy appliance, there are two that have earned a permanent spot in my house -- the Instant Pot and Air Fryer. The Instant Pot speeds up long cook times on stews and soups and is made for staples like beans, rice, and yogurt. An air fryer requires little to no preheating, cooks faster than an oven, and gives you that crispy finish we all love using just a small amount of oil. I LOVE using...

Hi Reader, For Math Nerds (like ME!) you will appreciate that 3/14 is recognized as pi (π) day. This is technically a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, which starts with 3.14--I could go on--but I don't think you want that😂 As a former Math Teacher and lover of food, what better way to celebrate this "math holiday" than to enjoy pie! From sweet to savory, from complicated to easy, you will find a pie recipe, or two, to enjoy! Pies for Pi Day🥧...
