It's Easter weekend! If you're having family or friends over for the holiday, you'll want to make this coffee-glazed ham -- the sweet and savory flavors are sure to be a hit with everyone. We recommend using a dark espresso -- our H.C. Valentine 100% Organic Espresso's notes of red fruit, spice, caramel, and toasted nuts really bring out the flavors of the meat.
