Note: Wine Suggestion: Pairing ham with wine takes some care. But this recipe, oriented as it is to vanilla and apple flavors, takes the ham in a Chardonnay direction. Like this dish, Chardonnay has vanilla and apple flavors, and its light sweetness mirrors that of the ham. Opt for a Chardonnay that's not too oaky. Try the Gloria Ferrer form the Carneros region of California ($2
