No, not Hammer Time – HAM TIME!

Although Hammer Time is fun, too.

These autumn days always have me craving a lovely smoked ham. So filling and fulfilling.

And one of my favorite things to do with a ham is dress it up with a special glaze. Certainly you can enjoy a tried and true, never-miss pineapple ham glaze, but I REALLY like this maple bourbon glaze.

It’s got a robust kick that makes it really feel like fall to me. You can get this yummy ham glaze recipe here. And try some of your own creations, too.
