I found this awesome peach glaze for ham this past weekend.  The flavor is phenominal – I think you’ll really like it.

I didn’t have pink peppercorns, so I used black peppercorns.  I didn’t have champagne vinegar, so I used white wine vinegar.  It was great!  Give it a try.

Scroll al the way to the bottom of this link for the peach/peppercorn glaze.

Dad’s Potato Salad

3 pounds red potatoes (skins on) cubed to about ½-3/4 inch
Kosher salt
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon of celery seed
Freshly ground black pepper

½ to ¾ cup chopped onion – any kind you like – yellow-red-sweet
6 Hard boiled eggs –3 of them sliced in quarters – the rest chopped
Shakes of paprika
Chopped Fresh Parsley

Put the potatoes in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Emril calls this “fork tender”. Drain the potatoes in a very large bowl to cool to room temperature.

In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and the celery seed and set this aside.

Chop 3 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the cooled potatoes. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate. When cooled, add the dressing and mix thoroughly. Transfer to a serving bowl (nice for the table) and add the remaining eggs/quartered around the top of the salad. Shake on the paprika and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve cold.

We bought a 5 pound package of Bobak kielbasa from Polonia in Casselberry, FL and I just loved it. We had company for dinner and I made Stuffed Cabbage, pierogi, and Bobak kielbasa simmered in beer. Everyone just raved about it. I’m so glad that I bought the large package – I will share it with my children and other guests at Easter. The flavor was the best – I think it’s the best kielbasa I’ve ever had.
