When our family entertains over the holidays, many guests have come from other family meals so a ham is often a nice change of pace from endless turkey dinners. The best part is that you just throw in the oven and walk away for the day. The leftovers are great to have on hand and I often save the bone to makeover into my Hearty Irish Ham & Potato Soup.
