Our Dinners on Christmas Eve and Day

[Cliff Bartlett]

We had family over on both Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day. My wife puts on a wonderful smorgasbord dinner for which I contributed around 4 lbs. of chicken wings. For the dinner the on Christmas night I did a 10 lb. ham with scalloped potatoes and my wife did the asparagus. Both evenings were extremely hectic and busy visiting with our relatives. Managed to get just a few pics to share here, but had a wonderful time both evenings.

4 lbs. of Party Wings Sunday evening.

10 lb. Cooks Ham last night. WSM running at 300, peach wood for smoke. The ham is glazed with a mixture of orange juice, apple juice, brown sugar and honey. Sprinkled on a mixture of brown sugar, turbinado sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and Spanish paprika.

Scalloped Potatoes on for about an hour and 15 minutes.

Done 4 1/2 hours later. Low 30's outside.

Everything was delicious. Hope you all had a great Christmas and wishing you all a Happy New Year. Thanks for looking.

Great looking meals there Cliff! I love the idea of smoked Scalloped potatoes. How did the peach wood play with the ham? That sounds very interesting...

Regards.

Looking good, Cliff! I think I'll have to do wings on NYE, half of them like Phil's, and half like yours.

Love those wings but the ham, bread, scalloped potatoes & plate are the show stopper. Had to be delicious!

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Thank you everyone.

How did the peach wood play with the ham?

John....the peach wood added a nice flavor. I wanted a mild smoke as the ham was pre-cooked. The sugar blend really complimented the meats natural flavor.
