7. Drain the pasta and stir it into the soup.  Simmer for 10 more minutes.

• 3 eggs
• 12 Maraschino cherries more if desired

Instructions

Ham W/ Raspberry chipotle glaze

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups seedless raspberry preserves
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 to 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped small
• 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
• 5 - 6 pound cooked ham (rump half or shank portion)
• 24 whole cloves, for studding ham (optional)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. In a small saucepan combine raspberry preserves, vinegar, chipotle peppers  sugar 
3. and garlic. (If you are mot sure about it being spicy, start with one chipotle and taste it. Add more if you like.)
4. Cook and stir over medium high heat just until boiling. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, about 10 minutes more. It will start to thicken up. (You will have about 1 and 1/2 cups glaze.) Set aside.
5. Set a rack inside of Roasting pan . If you don't have a roasting pan, set a large oven-safe cooling rack over a Baking sheet with raised edges. You want to keep the ham lifted from the liquids that will pool in the pan.
6. Cut open the packaging on your ham and throw away the glaze packet than probably came with it. We have loftier plans for this ham.
7. Set your ham flat side down on the rack. Which we call face down 
8. 
   
9. 
   
   
   
   Use a sharp serrated knife to score the ham by making diagonal cuts in a diamond pattern. See photos. Make the cuts about a half inch deep.
10. If you want, stud your ham with cloves. Push one clove into the crosses of the diamond cuts you made. I love the earthy undertones cloves add! But it's totally up to you and it will still be a great ham if you skip the cloves. I've done it both ways.
11. Brush the ham generously with the glaze you made. Don't use all of it, we need to brush again later too.
12. If you have an  thermometer that is safe for the oven insert it into the center of the ham. The thermometer should not touch the bone. (Or use an instant-read one later.)
13. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 1 and 1/2 to 2 and 1/4 hours or until thermometer registers 135 degrees F. (About 20-25 minutes per pound). Remember, the ham is pre-cooked, so you are just getting it nice and warm for serving, and crisping up the outside.
14. About 20 minutes before your ham is going to be done, remove it from the oven and brush with more glaze. Return to the oven.
15. When the ham reaches 135 degrees, remove from the oven and cover with foil until ready to serve. Serve with remaining glaze. 
16. 
    
17. Use your leftover bone to make soup 😃

JERK RIBS

Ingredients

• 4 Scotch bonnet peppers 
• 6 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp allspice
• 1 tbsp ground thyme
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 3-4 lbs of pork baby back or spare ribs

Instructions

• Using gloves, cut the tops off the Scotch bonnet peppers and put in a food processor. Do not handle without gloves. Place all other ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape inside of processor to get all of the rub mix and pour into a small bowl.
• Clean the ribs up by removing the back membrane then with gloves, rub jerk sauce all over ribs. Wrap the ribs back up in the butcher's paper (it has a great wax interior side to keep juices from dripping out), and seal with aluminum foil or in a re-sealable plastic bag. Place in the refrigerator for 8 hours.

For the Grill

• If you like it low and slow, set up the grill and preheat to 225°F. Add smoker chips per package instructions if using. 
• When the wood begins to smoke, unwrap the ribs and place on a sheet of aluminum foil bone side down, meaty side up. Put the ribs and aluminum foil directly on the grill. Cover the grill and and cook the ribs about 4 to 5 hours for baby backs or 5 to 6 hours for spare ribs. 
• Remove from the grill and let the ribs rest for a few minutes, then cut the ribs 
• If you don’t have the time: Set up the grill and preheat to medium (325° to 350°F). 
• Place the ribs, bone side down, in the center of the grate, cover the grill and cook the ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours for spare ribs or 1 1/2 to 2 hours for baby back ribs.
• Remove from the grill and let the ribs rest for a few minutes, then cut the ribs.

For the Oven

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
  

  Place the ribs, bone side down, on top of a wire rack set in an aluminum foil lined baking tray and roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours for spare ribs or 1 1/2 to 2 hours for baby back ribs. Halfway through, cover ribs with aluminum foil to protect them from drying out.
  

  At this point they should be tender enough to pull apart with your fingers. You want the ribs to have an internal temperature of 145°F. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes prior to cutting.
