Pomegranate Orange Sauce perfect for Ham

December 4, 2011

  • 96

Pomegranate Orange Sauce perfect for HamIt feels so cold I think it may snow!

Chances are it won’t.

We had a few flurries a few years ago, but it doesn’t typically snow in Southern California.

It sure feels festive though.

Cold, crisp weather reminds me of Christmas in the East Coast. I recall driving around for hours to find the right Christmas tree to cut down, funny how some memories just pop into you head. We often had ham for Christmas dinner when I was growing up. I always loved the brown sugar and pineapple. Thinking of a sweet fruity topped ham had me thinking the since you can easily find precooked ham, it would be great to have an easy sauce to help get dinner on the table in minutes.

 

Pomegranate Orange Sauce

This sauce is delicious over ham or cooked carrots, the possibilities are endless I’m sure it would be great on pancakes too!

pomegranate orange holiday ham @createdbydiane

Ham is great for a large gathering, or if you’re like me and LOVE the leftovers.

Farmer John is based in Southern California. What you may not know is that Farmer John is the only packaged meat brand based here in L.A., celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. As the makers of the famous DODGER DOG® hot dogs at Dodgers Stadium, no one understands the local flavors of Southern California better than Farmer John. They asked for a locally inspired recipe and since Southern California is known for its oranges and pomegranates. 

Farmer John Hams are available in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii.

    What I’d like is for my brother to be healthy, but I doubt that’s what you meant. So, what I’d really like is for my house to be clean. Maybe I’ll get a housekeeper 😉

    The pomegranate orange sauce sounds delicious and we love ham!

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    Looks delicious, Diane. We have a pomegranate tree and we had so many pomegranates this year.

    Honestly, I would just like a lovely holiday with my family…to be able to relax and enjoy them. No stresses or worries. But beyond that, if I had to pick something that could be bought with money, I would love the newest iPhone 4S.

    Yum! We are untraditional and do ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The fam just isn’t big into turkey, and I’m going to try this for the holiday!

    For Christmas, I would love to have a day of doing absolutely nothing. And not seeing the disaster the house turns into because I do absolutely nothing. And then feel guilty for doing nothing, so I start dishes, straightening, etc. LOL!

    My kids just found out they love pomegranates last week! Yay! As for christmas, I just want my kids to have a great christmas. Sure there are things I would like, but I have resigned myself to having a husband who (while sweet) is a TERRIBLE gift giver. So I don’t worry too much about it, I just watch and enjoy the looks on the kid’s faces on christmas morning! That is gift enough!

    Not entering the contest Diane…your sauce looks wonderful. I wonder if it would change it much if brown sugar were used instead of granulated white?

    Hmmmmm, What I would really like for Christmas: Breakfast in bed, a leisure day at the spa with dinner prepared by my hubby and kiddos. I will settle for a new crockpot though! It is the hardest working kitchen gadget I own aside from me!!!
