The Perfect Pairing

🐣 The Perfect Pairing: Easter Recipes, Wine, and Real Estate

Spring has finally sprung—and with it comes one of the most heartwarming holidays of the year: Easter. Whether you’re planning a cozy brunch, a big family dinner, or a quiet celebration at home, there’s something special about gathering around the table with loved ones and enjoying a beautiful meal.

But like any great meal, the secret to making it memorable lies in the perfect pairing—and not just on your plate. Keep reading for an Easter recipe that’s sure to impress, the ideal wine to serve with it, and how all of this ties into something else that requires just the right pairing: choosing the best real estate agent.

🍽️ Easter Favorite: Honey Glazed Ham with Roasted Spring Vegetables

This dish is a staple for many Easter tables. It’s tender, flavorful, and the glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness to make it feel festive.

Ingredients:

1 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 8 lbs)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Assorted root vegetables (baby carrots, red potatoes, parsnips)
Olive oil, salt, pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Place the ham in a roasting pan and score the surface in a diamond pattern.
In a small bowl, mix honey, mustard, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon. Brush half the glaze over the ham.
Roast the ham uncovered for about 1.5–2 hours, brushing with remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add to the pan during the final hour of cooking.
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with the roasted vegetables.

🍷 Wine Pairing: Riesling

A slightly sweet Riesling is the ideal wine for this Easter ham. It balances the sweetness of the glaze and the saltiness of the ham beautifully, while its floral, citrusy notes complement the season perfectly.

Not a fan of sweet wines? Try a Pinot Noir if you prefer reds. The goal is a wine that enhances, not overpowers, your meal.

🏡 Pairing Matters in Real Estate Too

Much like choosing the right wine to pair with your Easter dinner, choosing the right real estate agent is essential to making your home-buying or selling experience smooth, enjoyable, and successful.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving up, downsizing, or relocating, working with an agent who understands your goals and brings the right experience to the table can make all the difference.

A great agent will:

Help you navigate the current market with confidence
Provide expert guidance on pricing, marketing, and negotiation
Handle every detail from showings to closing
Be your advocate, advisor, and partner throughout the process

🍷🏡 It’s All About the Perfect Pairing

So this Easter, while you’re enjoying that delicious ham and sipping your favorite wine, take a moment to reflect on the other “pairings” in your life. If you’re considering a move this spring or summer, I’d love to be the agent you pair with.

With the right guidance, buying or selling a home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—it can feel as natural and enjoyable as the perfect meal.

Happy Easter!
Here’s to fresh starts, great food, and perfect pairings—on your plate and in your life.
