It’s Memorial Day Weekend, the official start of summer some say, but always a good reason to clean up the grill. Yes, it’s officially grilling season! For this weekend we’re cooking up some delights on our grill. I’ve even made my signature BBQ sauce for the occasion, to go with a few racks of beautiful beef and and pork ribs as well as nice healthy legs of chicken! Nothing better to start off the Memorial Day Weekend.

We’ve got our Steak and Shrimp Kabobs in the works with some grilled corn! Salsa and Grilled Sweet and Hot Italian Sausage!

My mom’s semi-famous Ambrosia recipe and fresh fruit salad and let’s not forget the greens – a giant tossed salad to boot. We’re doing it up here this Memorial Day Weekend.

Although I knew it was a common and popular recipe in some parts, I was surprised to hear how many people didn’t know how to make Pineapple Stuffing and were looking for the recipe. It is easy to make and tastes amazing, especially with ham glazed with some kind of pineapple glaze or sauce.

We cooked (my wife and I together) an Easter ham dinner for 15 people on Sunday and of course, we made my wife’s pineapple stuffing. The recipe is her recipe but it is the same as a few popular ones I’ve seen, so it’s been passed around quite a bit.

We make it using potato bread but the original calls for white bread, but really it is a personal preference. Potato Bread soaks up the pineapple very nicely and gives it a little extra texture, though it is filling!

The recipe calls for a 9-inch pan to be used and I recommend sticking to it if possible. If you do decide to use a bigger pan, take care not to fill the pan too high as it will not only take longer, but you risk the outside browning nicely while the inside is still very wet and undercooked. If this does happen to you, simply remove the top quarter or more and transfer it to another pan.

Due to the number of requests for it, I’ve put it up on Professional Recipes and you can grab this recipe by going here:

Of course, to go with the Pineapple Stuffing and the ham, I made a Caramel Pineapple Glaze (my own title of course) to glaze the ham and make a sauce for the guests to drizzle over their plates, garnished with, of course, pineapple slices in the sauce bowl (for anyone who loves to munch on pineapple with ham – like me!).

Take care when trying the Caramel Pineapple Glaze recipe though as making the caramel can be tricky if you don’t get the timing quite right. You can grab this recipe by going here:

Hi everyone,

With the Easter holiday coming so early this year, we had to get out some Easter Recipes, especially Easter Ham Glaze and a few others coming in the next few days. Stay tuned to our latest recipes by going to the Latest Recipes menu in the Recipes section of our site. There you can view the 10 newest additions to the site (RSS Feed coming soon – updated).

I’d also like to discuss glazing hams before the holiday officially arrives, which is a popular tradition in many households who celebrate Easter. Usually the ham is cooked to whatever family tradition passed down to the chef du jour, and is one that has been used for a long time.

While I don’t propose breaking family tradition of course, it’d be very easy to change up your style instead and throw some pizazz into that family tradition. How do you ask? Simple, we’ll show you some tried and true methods for your old favorites and some new ideas for those of you bold enough to change it up!
