Crock Pot Maple Syrup Black Forest Ham

It is Maple Syrup Season here in Eastern Canada.  What tastes better than a Ham cooked in Maple Syrup..

My recipe is for a small Crock Pot.

ingredients:

One low fat  Black Forest Ham
-800 gr.

1/2 cup Maple Syrup

2 potatoes

Parsley

Pepper

To cut down on Sodium, I boil my ham in a deep pot for a few minutes and drain.

Spray your Crock Pot with Pam. It will be easier to clean after.

Cut 2 medium potatoes in slices and put in the bottom of the Crock Pot.

Then I sprinkle them with Parsley and Pepper. (salt if you desire)

Place Ham on top, pour Maple Syrup over Ham

Cover and cook 4 1/4 hrs. 

Delicious......

No Sugar Banana Muffins

Today I made healthy, banana muffins. 

 Made with whole wheat flour,

 and sugar is replaced with 

apple sauce and honey.

tip:

The secret of good muffins is to stir the batter until the flour is just dampened.

The batter should be lumpy. Over mixing causes tunnels and a tough texture.

Perfect muffins are light and tender with rough shiny golden crusts.

    Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce (I use one small container of Motts)

3/4 cup honey
2 eggs beatened
3 mashed overipe bananas
(walnuts optional)
     


Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl mix together applesauce, honey,
eggs and mashed bananas.
Sir with flour mixture just until moistened.
Bake 350 degrees for about 20 mins. 
 (I made 16 medium muffins)....


   *This recipe can also be used for Banana Loaf. bake for 60-65 mins.

                                                            (¯`·.·´¯) (¯`·.·´¯)
