...vegan ham...

...I made Tracy's vegan ham again...

...I've made it before and I've got a copy of the recipe in my binder...but sadly Tracy's blog (and its recipes) no longer exists...

...this time I didn't put the loaf in the juice can baker that I made...('cause I've not seen it since the move to W.V.)...

...I just shaped it into a loaf and put it in a stainless steel bowl to bake...it has to bake for a long time...

...I may just like this shape better anyway...

...it certainly slices perfectly this way...

...so delicious...

...served with the simple butternut squash...

~Have a lovely day!

...I thought y'all might like Tracy's recipe...
