What goes with baked ham?

We like to have either au gratin or scalloped potatoes with ham. Or sometimes I'll make yams or sweet potatoes - if I'm not in the mood for a cheesy white potato! And a green vegetable - beans or broccoli is always nice. And then applesauce or Waldorf salad - apples just seem to go with ham or pork!

I hope you enjoy your family dinner. Happy New Year!

What Goes With Baked Ham

I am going to make a ham dinner as well. I will be serving mashed potatoes (yukon gold) and mashed sweet potatoes, black eyed peas, green beans, apple sauce with nutmeg and/or cinnamon and a salad.

This is the recipe I use for the sweet potatoes, it is very very good! You have to make it exactly as told or it doesn't taste right. I found the peppers at my super walmart.

What goes with baked ham?

Iam a non meat eater and have been volunteered to bake a ham for our family dinner. It will be at my home and I can't remember what my mother used to serve with ham. Need suggestions, please. Others are bringing appetizers an deserts.

Smothered fresh string beans with potatoes and pickle meat, OR green bean casserole, Macaroni and cheese or potatoes au gratin, candied yamns or baked sweet potatoes in the skin. Cornbread, little dinner rolls for ham sandwiches.
