A new twist on the Spring Ham: Sweet Tea

This Spring, try a new take on the spiral ham with an unconventional choice, Milo’s Sweet Tea.

Milo’s is steeped in heritage, fresh brewed since 1946 when Milo Carlton returned home from World War II. That’s when he and his wife, Bea, opened a restaurant and became famous for their Sweet Tea. Milo’s philosophy was simple – use high quality, natural ingredients, listen to your customers and never sacrifice taste. Their vision still guides us today as we source natural ingredients, fresh brew all of our teas and never use added colors or preservatives.

Here’s the recipe for Milo’s Ham Glaze

INGREDIENTS

5 lb fully cooked spiral bone in ham

Glaze:

2 cups Milo’s Famous Sweet Tea
1 cup brown sugar
10 cloves
2 cinnamon sticks

DIRECTIONS

Preheat Oven to 325 degrees
Combine all Glaze ingredients into saucepan
Bring all Glaze ingredients to a boil
Reduce heat to medium low and glaze is bubbly
Cook 15-20 minutes until tea is reduced and glaze is light brown – stir occasionally
Remove cinnamon sticks and cloves (Tip: Tilt saucepan to side and cloves will float to the top)
Pour immediately over ham and in between spirals – glaze will thicken as it cools
Cover with foil and bake 1:15-1:30 basting halfway through cook time

Burning Man 2018

Sunday, August 26 to Monday, September 3
Black Rock City

Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. In this crucible of creativity, all are welcome.

Burning Man Project’s mission is to produce the annual event known as Burning Man and to guide, nurture and protect the more permanent community created by its culture. Our intention is to generate society that connects each individual to his or her creative powers, to participation in community, to the larger realm of civic life, and to the even greater world of nature that exists beyond society.

We believe that the experience of Burning Man can produce positive spiritual change in the world. To this end, it is equally important that we communicate with one another, with the citizens of Black Rock City and with the community of Burning Man wherever it may arise. Burning Man is radically inclusive, and its meaning is potentially accessible to anyone.

The touchstone of value in our culture will always be immediacy: experience before theory, moral relationships before politics, survival before services, roles before jobs, embodied support before sponsorship. Finally, in order to accomplish these ends, Burning Man must endure as a self-supporting enterprise that is capable of sustaining the lives of those who dedicate themselves to its work. From this devotion spring those duties that we owe to one another.

We will always burn the Man.
