Interesting. I make something similar, minus the chicken soup and crunchy topping, and with fresh, not frozen potatoes. Never heard the term funeral potatoes. You learn something new every day.
Ok, I will admit that I didn’t even know canned ham existed until tonightMy mom did canned ham with cloves pushed in the top, pineapple slices and cherry glaze on top. Love it. Spicy and sweet.
I made it for my kids a few weeks ago using mom's "recipe", they were not impressed. LOL
We love vegetables and eat all of these year round!And acorn squash is something we serve a lot in the fall & winter months. Once spring & summer arrives, we usually switch over to zucchini & yellow squash.
Nectarine caprese is just a normal caprese salad but with nectarines instead of tomatoes--we'll replace the tomatoes with stone fruits (peaches, apricots, etc.) during the summer and it's very tasty!Thank you!!
I need to add cheese straws, I think!!
And what is nectarine caprese?
My mom makes an apricot nectar cake. It’s become a sort of tradition in our family since the recipe was passed down to her by her mother (my grandmother).
I've had it a time or two but honestly, it's more like Spam than an actual ham. I can't imagine serving it for a fancy meal. Sometimes when I want it to be super-easy I get one of these boneless hams wrapped in netting. They are waaaaaay better than canned.Ok, I will admit that I didn’t even know canned ham existed until tonight

Yes!! That, and the texture is what reminded me of Spam. Spam has that stuff in the corner of the can sometimes too.The last time I tried canned ham, about 20 years ago, it was kind of gross. All slimy with a gelatin-like substance oozing out.
Many hams have to legally be labeled as “ham and water product.” I sometimes see a really low end canned ham labeled “Ham, water and binder product.” Dubuque brand, I think.
I only want a smallish ham so I buy one about 1/4 of the size @ronandannette posted. It can be whole or pre-sliced. Those are pretty good.
Very often eating out. Easter very often aligns with spring break so we are away from home.
Easter is the most important celebration in our faith and the feast is ALWAYS ham and scalloped potatoes with our standard festive sides of sweet potatoes, mashed turnip and Brussels sprouts. There will also be a relish tray, deviled eggs and a variety of salads. I try to always pick up a nice loaf of braided challah bread but if I miss it, we go with hot cross buns. Dessert is always a nicely decorated cake and a basket of chocolate treats.
One thing that has surprised me here is seeing how many people have deviled eggs at Easter! It’s not something I’ve seen in these parts. We usually have a spiral ham and lemon cake for dessert. This year we are going to do a combination of smashed roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts and acorn squash - and maybe I’ll try my hand at some deviled eggs!
