A very simple, but totally delicious answer to glazing a ham. Make it your centrepiece this Christmas...or any other time of year for that matter.
Well, the Celebrate and Bake classes are done for the year. No more; It has been wonderful to get around the country and share some great laughs, food and ideas with you, and I hope that this is just the beginning. Next year we plan to bring you even more. (Did you like your goodie bags? We are just having so much fun with them!!) So for those of you who missed out, (sorry) here is the widely acclaimed Apricot Glazed ham. I’m hoping it will be on your table this festive season.
