I thought I knew what my menu was for Christmas but now I'm not sure. I need some ideas>>>

What a wonderful menu Joyce. Thank you. REC: Sweet Hot Mustard>>

Would you share your recipe and process for doing the ham? They are expensive, delicious, but expensive. I always get a mini because it's just the two of us and I don't know how small a ham I could get but I'd love to look into it for a next time. And also, I don't have a great, T&T recipe for baked beans could I have that as well? Here's my favorite recipe for a sweet hot mustard. Fabulous with ham. Thanks


Sweet Hot Mustard Dip

4 ounces mustard powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
6 tablespoons butter
3 whole eggs -- beaten
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar

Mix first 4 ingredients with enough water to make a smooth paste. Stir in vinegar and sugars. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and blend in butter till melted. Beat 3 eggs until lemon colored. Temper eggs with a small amount of the hot mixture and then pour eggs into the saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Pour into sterilized jars and refrigerate or freeze.

Makes 5 - 1/2 pint jars.

This sounds great, orchid. Does it need time to "cure", for the flavor

to develop or do you find it's fine to be eaten right away?
