To make the recipe your own, try using a different combination of juice and jam, jelly, or marmalade for the glaze—apple juice and grape jelly, orange juice and strawberry jam, or apricot nectar and orange marmalade.

Spiced Grilled Ham with Citrus Glaze

Makes 12 to 14 (4-ounce) servings

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 1 ½ to 2 hours

Ingredients

• 6 to 7 pound fully cooked bone-in ham, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander 

• 1 tablespoon ground paprika 

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 
¼ cup lemon marmalade* 
• 
2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 

* If you can’t find lemon marmalade, substitute another citrus marmalade.

Grilling Directions

1. Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot (375 to 425°F). Prepare grill for indirect cooking: For gas grill, turn off center burner; for charcoal grill, bank coals on either side; place drip pan under grate between heat sources.
2. Score diamond pattern into ham, about ⅛-inch deep into any fat. In small bowl, combine coriander, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and cloves. Rub spice mixture over all sides of ham. Place ham, flat side down, in center of grill over drip pan. Cover and cook, adding briquettes to charcoal grill as necessary to maintain heat, until internal temperature of ham reaches 140°F, 1 ½ to 2 hours or 15 to 18 minutes per pound.
3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine marmalade, orange juice, and sugar.
4. Brush marmalade mixture over ham. Cover and grill 5 minutes, until glaze is lightly caramelized. Remove ham from grill, transfer to cutting board, and let rest 15 to 30 minutes before cutting.

Roasting Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Position rack in lower third of oven.
2. Score diamond pattern into ham, about ⅛-inch deep into any fat. In small bowl, combine coriander, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and cloves. Rub spice mixture over all sides of ham. Place ham, flat side down, in large shallow roasting pan and cook until internal temperature of ham reaches 140°F, 1 ½ to 2 hours or 15 to 18 minutes per pound.
3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine marmalade, orange juice, and sugar.
4. Brush marmalade mixture over ham. Return to oven and roast 5 minutes, until glaze is lightly caramelized. Remove ham from oven, transfer to a cutting board, and let rest 15 to 30 minutes before cutting.

Classic Covers: A Leyendecker Easter The Saturday Evening Post

Nearly 200 years later, not much has changed as one wouldn’t be surprised to see live birds nest bonnets and pets dressed to the nines.

In the April, 9 1955, issue of The Saturday Evening Post, writer Rufus Jarman explores the parade’s fanciful behavior in “Manhattan’s Easter Madness.”

“Each year a million people—most of them neither churchgoes nor New Yorkers—mob Fifth Avenue for the Easter Parade,” reads the article.

Easter Madness The Saturday Evening Post

I am, however, a Catholic. But I rarely go to church, and when I do, I don’t understand half of the motions I’m going through, and I have never sacrificed anything for Lent … until now.

This past Sunday I attended a mass on a whim, my pathetic attempt to—dare I say— “check-in.” I usually take the hour to daydream, plan out the rest of my day, or worry about the upcoming week. But this time was different. At one point, the priest asked each one of us to come up and take a pebble from the “desert” display near the altar. We are to keep the pebble throughout the Lent season (which ends Easter Sunday) as a reminder to resist the temptation of indulging in whatever it is that we are giving up for 40 days.

This is one of the traditions I have never fully understood. How is giving up chocolate for a few weeks going to better the world? If anything, it will only make me more cranky and difficult to be around, right?

But then again, I like a good challenge. And I always feel a little stronger every time I complete one. So I thought, why not? I have the pebble … But what to give up? It needs to be something I enjoy almost every day. Coffee? Never gonna happen. Gum? No. (How would I cover up my coffee breath?) Diet soda? Hmmm … I do love diet soda, especially in the afternoon. Just hearing the can crack open makes my mouth water. This would definitely be a challenge.

And so it’s on. I don’t think my boycotting of soft drinks for 40 days will change the world, but it will change me. I will be well trained in resisting temptation and be a stronger person for it, or so I’m hoping. And oh how sweet that first sip will taste come Easter.

Have you ever sacrificed something you enjoy in order to experience personal growth?
