    I caught a few minutes of one of Paula's ham glaze reciepts a few days ago.I would love to get it all,but have no idea where to find it. All I know is that she sprayed a measuring cup with cooking spray the poured honey and added a can of crushed pineapples juice and all.That's all I got.If someone can help me with the rest of it I would be ver thankful.
    Thanks and Merry Christmas,
    Bonnie

    This recipe will definitely become a Christmas tradition for my family, as it is delicious and easy to prepare. I was reluctant at first to make this dish, because i thought it would be really complicated, but it turned out to be simpler than I expected. I used ready to cook ham, and cooked it the night before, so it was only a matter of wrapping the dough around the cooled ham and baking it right before dinner. I also decorated it with roasted almonds. It came out beautiful!!!

    When I brought this ham out of the kitchen to the dining room every one ooh and ahhed. It was the most beautiful ham i've ever cooked and it it was delicious. The only problem was that the directions should be to cook 20 minutes for every lb of ham. I will definetly use this recipe again.

    After seeing this recipe on Paula's Party I just had to try it for Christmas. Everyone was quite impressed not only with the festive look but also the flavor of this ham. I did make changes as I prefer to use a ready to cook ham rather than a fully cooked ham. My ham was 20 pounds and took 5 hours to cook so I adjusted the recipe by cooking the ham and adding the glaze the last half hour. Because I had casseroles to cook, I removed the ham, covered it with foil and a large towel to rest while the casseroles cooked. This gave me the time to put the dough on the ham and I used a holly leaf cookie cutter and also added maraschino cherries cut in half and placing them in between the holly leaves. It turn out absolutely beautiful and everyone loved the flavor of the glaze and pastry covering. Thank you Paula, I will definitely make this again!!

    I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of the mustard and marmalade. The dough worked out well, cooling the ham slightly after the first twenty minutes. It didn't slouch or burn, we used foil for the darker spots as suggested. I accidentally overlapped some dough, and it was less cooked through in those spots and closer to the bottom.

    For sides I chose sweet potatoes with marshmallows and brown sugar, a batch of crescent rolls instead of the cut outs, and a scratch green bean caserole with garlic and cheddar.

    The meloy of flavor from all these dishes together made it a taste exciting Christmas meal.

    i saw this recipe on paula's party and me and my mom oooed and awwed over it...so we just had to try it........well we got all the stuff for it and i came on the site to see how much of what went where and i read the reviews...not gonna lie after reading some of the comments i was hesitant to try it.........BUT...we made it and it was a sucesss.....the bread didn't slip and it cooked all the way through.....the only thing that we did different was that we cooked our ham a little longer before putting the bread on it...and we let it cool before putting the bread on..which is probably why the bread didn't slip..........then when we put the bread on we just watched it and when some spots browned up faster then others we put foil on it...........which i think helped with bread cooking thoroughly......which left us with a nice juicy ham!!....it was really good and i was happy with it....everyone enjoyed it :-
