Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze (English)

While turkey is generally the staple meat of a typical American Thanksgiving dinner and closely associated with the holiday itself, Ham is a close second. An American family will generally serve turkey, ham, or both during Thanksgiving. Whole ham and turkey are generally only cooked on large family occassions like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter due to the simplicity and amount of people it can feed. Please try making this American holiday favorite during one of your gatherings!
