We love a good holiday tradition… especially one that is centered around food, of course! When it comes to Easter, this Easter Baked Ham is our absolute favorite main and has been the go-to for our family gathering for years and years. We love it because it’s so simple to make and it brings tangy, sweet, and tender tastes every single time we make it. It never disappoints! We highly recommend giving this Easter Baked Ham a try this year and who knows, it might become your traditional main course, too!
