Baked Ham with Marsala Sauce

When it comes to the holidays or special occasions, I’m not one to try to create an intricate recipe.  I like recipes that use a few key ingredients to create amazing flavor that makes it seem as if I slaved in the kitchen all day basting my meat.  It’s a trick though.  A mirage if you may.  That’s honestly why my Perfect Roast Turkey is one of the top recipes here.  It wows your company and gets their tastebuds excited.  This Baked Ham recipe is no exception to that.  Only five ingredients creates a flavorful Marsala sauce that everyone thinks is an intricate sauce.  Mirage!

One of the reasons that my sauces are always a huge hit is because of Holland House cooking wines.  I love being able to add bold flavors to my recipes just by using a Holland House Cooking Wine.  Plus, Holland House has an extensive array of cooking wines that consist of White, White with Lemon, Sherry, Marsala and Red cooking wines.  They are the perfect addition to just about any meal.

My favorite part of this meal is definitely my girls’ reaction to the baked ham.  They love hams, but the marsala sauce gave this so much more flavor.  We usually serve this ham with our Lightened Up Jiffy Corn Casserole and Honey Roasted Carrots.  For another recipe using Holland House, check out the YouTube recipe video from Tatyana’s Everyday Food.  To download a coupon for Holland House, visit HERE.  You can also find more great recipes on Holland House’s Facebook and Pinterest account.
