Some of my favorite memories of Easter, as in pretty much every other holiday as well, revolve around food. I always enjoyed hunting for Easter eggs, but when it came down to it there were a few very simple celebratory things that always made the holiday for me:

1.) The singing of the Hallelujah Chorus at our church;

2.) Deviled eggs (my mom’s super-secret recipe);

3.) The Easter ham, which always had a hint of citrus in the glaze.

Now I don’t know if my mom added citrus to the glaze or what, but I do know that I would lick my plate clean and have seconds, always smeared with a little yellow mustard. That ham was one of the best meals, and I looked forward to it every year!

Now that I’m the one in charge of making ham in our house I decided to go with my own recipe, with a fabulous Petit Jean ham as the star of the show. I added a little orange zest to the glaze to make it extra special, along with some of my favorite local honey. This is one ham you won’t be able to stop eating!
