Christmas Dinner


My Christmas Dinner Menu
(give or take)



One 10 lb Ham
One can of sliced pineapples
Brown sugar
Honey
Whole Cherries

Frozen yeast rolls

Potatoes 5 lbs
Butter and Milk
Salt and Pepper

Can of Vegetables

Easy Bake Pumpkin Pie Mix in a Can
Pie Plate and  One Pie Crust
Cool Whip and Eggs and a can of condensed milk
 Directions are on the can.
or 
(Make my Coconut Cream Pie under my recipe tab)
This will need to be done the day before.

This meal will feed around ten to fifteen.

Allow approximately 4-5 hours to cook entire meal 

1.   Put Rolls in corn muffin pan after spraying with Pam non stick oil and cover with saran wrap.
Leave out to rise in room temperature for approximately 3 hours--follow directions on bag.
One bag of rolls is two muffin pans = 24--12 each.

2.   Wash and prepare Ham and secure pineapples to ham and mix glaze, drizzle on top and cover with foil (refer) to my Glazed Ham on my recipe tab) Put Ham in oven at 350 degrees for approx. 
2 1/2 - 3 hours. (directions are on the package for size, I am estimating 10 lbs)

3.   Peel Potatoes and cut up and put on to boil.

4.   Prepare the Pumpkin Pie and cook Pie beside Ham til it is done approx. 50 minutes.
When done take Pie out and let cool. 

5.   Drain Potatoes and put in mixer, add salt and pepper, butter, and milk to taste and  mix til you have a good creamy texture. (taste as you go, its always better that way! lol)
Cover and set aside.

6.   It is close to time to take your Ham out of the oven. So take a break and have some Holiday Cheer (eggnog) lol

7.   Take Ham out of the oven and set aside to let it rest!

8.   Start warming your vegetables up.

9.   Put rolls in oven and remember my rule on checking on baked goods early!
Check often because every oven is different and you want these to be perfect!
When they are done take them out and set them away from the heat of the oven! Melt a little butter in your microwave and brush or drizzle over the top. Now they are ready to transfer to a large bowl.


Slice your Ham and lay slices on a platter as desired
Place your platter of meat
on your table with the bowl of hot rolls. Add your vegetables and mashed potatoes to your table. Set desert close to the table to be viewed while dinner is being eaten!


Everyone will be envious of
  your 
Christmas Dinner


ENJOY





This is a picture of what the rolls and ham will look like at the store that I cook.
