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.

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

  3. 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!!!
