This is the way my Nanny and Mom made our holiday ham. We had it for Easter, Christmas and side by side with turkey on Thanksgiving.

Just thicken the juices with a…

I had this at a friends house over the weekend - they made two kinds of ribs. A more "traditional" slab with light spice and honey, and this gem. I actually returned some of the traditional slab to the serving plate so I could make room for this winner! The best part of this recipe is the mix of cumin and coriander in the dry rub.…
