Hi Kaley ... I think there's no need to be nervous! Especially as you can cook the ham over several days, or even entirely in advance, you can plan to make it a stress free experience!

I so wanted a baked ham for Easter lunch but didn't think about it until Friday at about 6pm... Alas. Luckily, there was a vegetarian pot-luck with some creative vegans involved. Thanks for this though as I was nervous about what exactly to do with it (it is one of those things that just ended up on the table when I was growing up - grandmother's culinary magic + young child distracted by large amounts of chocolate). I'll definitely give it a try!

Thanks Silverback ... I'll update the date!!! I'm glad you've enjoyed the site.

Hi Andy, found your great site by chance (how often does THAT happen ?) and will be a regular reader.

We had Easter ham yesterday for the first time ever even though it IS traditional in the US where I'm coming to the end of my winter trip. Good to read about your experiences.

Just one tiny point. You've got the date wrong at the top of the post. Yesterday was 23rd.
