Enhance the flavor of your holiday ham with three “Ah” inspiring glazes!
Provided with a sample of an heirloom-bred, free-range ham from Organic Prairie – a farmer-owned operation – I found its old-fashioned flavor and goodness is an excellent choice for those pursuing food choices that are free of GMOs, hybrids and also raised on a natural, vegan diet, which Organic Prairie prides itself on doing.
Their ham is deliciously different and, when further enhanced with a well-made glaze, becomes so outstanding you cannot help but say, “Ah!”
