If you live in fear of preparing the “meats” for Thanksgiving then let me help you! First of all…get a Schwab’s Spiral Sliced Honey Ham or a Smoked Turkey. That way they are pre-cooked and really takes the fear of total failure out of your meal. The second hint is that with a little “dolling up” you can make this an “ahhhh” type of ham!
Holiday Classics Everyone Should Make
Pineapple Jack Glazed Ham

1/2 cup honey mustard
3 Tablespoon pineapple juice
1/2 cup bourbon
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Schwab’s honey spiral sliced ham
In a bowl mix together the brown sugar, mustard, coke, bourbon and cinnamon. Place the ham cut side down in a large roasting pan. Brush on the glaze all over the outside of the ham. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for one hour or till warmed through.
Citrus and Vanilla Bean Cranberry Sauce
1 package fresh cranberries
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 cup sugar
zest of 1 lemon
zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon vanilla paste
Bring the water, juice, sugar, lemon and orange zest to a boil. Add in the cranberries and the vanilla paste and bring to a boil while covered. Stir occasionally for 7-10 minutes or until cranberries have burst. Allow to cool and pour into a mason jar. Place slices of fresh orange and lemon in the jar. Allow to sit in the fridge for 24 hours before serving.
