Today I’ve got a very easy appetizer perfect for Christmas or New Years. With just 4 ingredients and minimal prep, this one will not take time away from you enjoying family. Slightly salty ham baked in a sweet sauce of pineapple, brown sugar and ketchup… yup, thats it! Poke in some frilly toothpicks and you are good to go!
I sometimes feel silly even posting such a simple recipe but let me tell ya, this one needed to be shared because it was a BIG hit with my family!!! You can prep this ahead of time then just warm through before serving. Keeping things simple is a must when cooking for a crowd! This is one appetizer that I think you’ll go back to again and again.
