It was the evening of
December 24th that year. The mood was festive and the sound of chattering
filled my ears. When I was younger and still living with my parents, my family
was as ordinary and simple as it can be. We weren’t very rich nor poor but we
lived quite merrily. I remember that night, my mom was able to prepare a lot of
food for our Noche Buena. But my eyes were drawn to the one viand that made
this occasion extra special, the Holiday
Whole-Meat Ham. It was served with its spot-on sauce and every bite was
very much worth it. Even as the holidays had passed, I was still looking for
its delicious taste. I kept on nagging them to buy another one but it was a bit
pricey to get on an ordinary day. They tried to buy a cheaper brand but it
wasn’t able to do the magic.
You could really taste the difference because Holiday Whole-Meat Ham is made of one
whole boneless meat from the hind leg with no extenders. It is smoked in ham
nets and simmered in a special sauce that gives richer flavor!
Now that, I, myself is a
mother of three amazing boys, I found myself following the tradition of having
ham every Christmas and New Year’s eve. It would forever be my favorite part of
the feast. I even made my own recipe using this precious good.
