The idea of having more than one type of meat on Christmas Day always felt a little too much for me. But I LOVE ham, and so I came up the the idea of serving the ham on Christmas Eve. Which is now a firm tradition in our house. And we won’t be changing any time soon.
NOTE: Save the menu to your favourite collections. Then adjust the number of servings for each recipe.
Scheduling + Timing
The Day Before or at least 6 hours before
Make Chocolate Walnut Cake and keep in the freezer.
2 hours before
1. Prep ham + start cooking. Transfer cake to the fridge.
2. Prep potatoes and add to the oven on the bottom shelf.
3. Cook ham and potatoes at the same time – keep an eye on the spuds. If that start to brown too early, remove them from the oven and just return when you have 10 minutes to go on the ham.
4. Make Salad while the ham and spuds are cooking.
5. Serve everything (apart from cake) in the middle.
6. When you’re ready for dessert slice cake thinly – it’s very rich!
