Ham dinner, southern style cooking meets south of the border

No pictures today. Cassie suggested a sweet baked ham, collard greens, pinto beans and cornbread for dinner today.  She made the pinto beans mixed with some mayocoba beans, some brown sugar, bacon, maybe some hot pepper sauce and I am not sure what else.  The cornbread was a commercial mix with some brown sugar added and made with eggs and milk.

Ham was a small shank end city ham with a glaze of apple cider, brown sugar, dijon mustard, honey, maple syrup and a dash of balsamic vinegar.  Collard greens were stripped of the large center stems, rinsed thouroughly, chopped, boiled with water and a ham shank bone, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes.  We ate them with some vinegar and hot sauce.

  1. The pinto/mayocoba beans had garlic powder, bay leaves, caldo de pollo, salt, beau monde seasoning, brown sugar, red pepper flakes. Browned homemade bacon bits with chopped white onions, red pepper flakes, salt and apple cider vinegar were stirred in last.
