Painters and artists have soul. Even a chef has soul. This recipe for glazed ham is a longtime favorite of the Franklin family, prepared for holidays, celebrations, or whenever the urge to cook it strikes. Aretha makes her ham the centerpiece of almost all her family gatherings. While Aretha prepares her part of the holiday meal, Martha demonstrates a recipe for scalloped potatoes, baked in cream and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Scalloped potatoes are simple to prepare but taste rich and elegant enough to complement any meal.
The subtle flavor of the potatoes is a perfect accompaniment to the sweet and salty taste of the glazed ham. 1 twenty-ounce can pineapple rings Baker's coconut for garnish, optional 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Using a paring knife, score the ham, creating a diamond pattern. Insert cloves into the corners of each diamond.
