Smoked not steamed

We have pre-cut or spiral hams. Get a little more seasoning and glaze between the cuts then just cut it off the bone. We kept the bone and remaining meat for bab leves soup

Brown sugar is the predominant ingredient but 1 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 2-3oz bourbon, 1/4-1/3 cup preserves, and 2 oz honey

And thank you, I thrive on confirmation for my cooking. Usually when I get compliments, I don’t believe them at first and need multiple before I know it was a success. I’m my hardest critique.

I did. I’ve done this recipe before just tweaked the bourbon and preserves amount based off family’s recommendations.

This is only my second sighting in the 6 years we’ve lived here of an owl. Though, I regularly see bald eagles and Cooper’s hawks. Actually had a Cooper’s hawk eating in our backyard very close to the tree in that picture. Cleaning up the feathers and carcass was worth the show.

We’re very blessed to live where we do and be so close to state and national parks as well as the ocean. The kiddos love seeing all the wildlife.

Jealous you got to hold one. I’ve always wanted to hold a bird of prey but haven’t had or really looked for an opportunity.

Thanks, i saw a similar looking owl about 4 years back on our fence. It let me get pretty close to get a picture but the quality still wasn’t the best. I’m glad this one turned out better.

Super Troopers shows me they have bear fuckers too so…
