The old Vegan In The Sun 
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe from your cookbook. Happy holidays & Merry Christmas in advance. Will be waiting for many more interesting & yummy recipes from you especially Madeleines .
I can send it to your for your personal use plus I can use a tester for this. Not putting it up before I see it in some restaurant’s menu but I am happy to send it to individuals who want to try the vegan version of this french treat
Hi Taymer,
I would love to try your madeleine recipe also. I’ve lived in France for three years now, and have attempted to make madeleines twice in an effort to veganize this local treat (and impress my children, who keep asking for some!), but both times the batter was too dense and didn’t rise at all (was it supposed to? I’m thinking it was!). I’d be glad to give you feedback and/or post photos…
Au revoir!
I will send u in an hour Mine did the rise in the middle and I jumped for joy as I had humps! but the baking method is kinda crazy but all in the spirit to get good madelines:) Happy to have some testers for this before my other testers get it…so u are the pre pre testers. It took me 15 tries to get it right and I almost went out to buy some real ones to see what I was doing wrong but I got it right eventually.
I would love to try the recipe and let you know how they came out. I love madeleines but since I don’t eat eggs anymore I miss the little treats. Thanks again .
I just checked my mail and found the recipe . I will let you know once I try it.
How fun! I might make this to take to my boyfriend’s mom’s house for Xmas. She asked me to bring my own “meat” so I’ll have something to eat too. This is much more original than just buying a Tofurky again.
This WILL be on my table this holiday. I can’t find the bitters though. Can I leave them out or substitute them with anything?
that the the only optional thing but sub water for it angostura sells in any west indian shop or liquor store but sub water or more smoke for it
That is beautiful, Taymer! I think I know what I will be making over the holidays.
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking at this pic on your blog for awhile and wishing I had the recipe. The book is on my wish list though so didn’t want to buy it in case I’m getting it as a present. Plenty of time to get the ingredients and prep for Christmas. I’m thinking maybe I can make the seitan ahead, then do the glaze/baking at the relatives house. Hope you have a great holiday!
u can do that just make sure it is wrapped well so it doesnt dry out the ham is small and will serve like 6 ppl..if u are going by family and more ppl would be eating i suggest you make 2…dont double the recipe make 2 it doesnt work when doubled
Thanks for the info! That will help a lot. I think it would just be my family eating it, three of us, but if it turns out well perhaps a few people will be interested to sample it. 🙂
I discovered your blog a few yeas ago and have been in love with it ever since. Sister, whatever HATERATION that is occuring with regards to your blog, book or other personal matters:- please stay strong and focused!
As 2011 approaches, I wish you endless blessings & success.
This looks delicious and I would love to make it. Could you tell me the size of your spoons and cups. I am in Australia and our measurements differ to America.
will email u today but i am really strapped for time
letting u know i saw ur ques
Have been waiting for your email.. so I tried it with my Australian measurements and it didn’t seem to cook properly after the steam, still very mushy inside. So I will retry with American measures. Just so you know the difference is in the tablespoon. Ours is equal to 4 teaspoons and in America only 3 teaspoons to a tablespoon. That adds up to a lot of extra liquid over the recipe. Smells and tastes divine, texture is a little mushy though.
i was on a plane all day i just came in after a long flight and i was meaning to get back to u on thursday hoping it would not be too late i used us cups if that helps sorry i will write more after i get some sleep
texture is mushy due to incorrect measurement i will make this 2morrow and i follow the recipe exactly and it never gives me a bad result will post the glaze as well when i wake up
Using the US tablespoon it worked out perfect! Yet to glaze it, but the consistency and taste are wonderful. I will make a few more for christmas, I have hungry children. Thank you!
yippee i am glad it worked whew i am off to bed will do more when i settle in and the glaze
This looks absolutely amazing! My mom always made a Christmas ham and I missed it last year. I did tamales instead which my family also does for Christmas. I think I’ll be making this to bring to my dad’s along with my vegan tamales this year. Thank you for sharing this! I’m also going to go look up your cook book and put it on my wish list.
Hi Lisa The reason I made this ham was because back in my prevegan we had ham and that was very caribbean xmas for me When I went vegan almost 6 years ago I missed that smoky smell in the oven on xmas eve and christmas did not feel like xmas anymore This is the first time I will be making this for my family and it would bring back that xmas tradition i loved growing up
Wow,Taymer, we can’t wait to try this for new year’s dinner. I bet it would be great with Hoppin’ John and collards!
If you need another madeline tester I’m at your service, too!
Thank you, Taymer. My partner and I really enjoyed preparing and eating this. It’s very similar to the way Christmas ham is prepared in the Philippines.
I am happy to hear that TJ
I ate too much for Christmas but I am looking fwd to making it again!
I tried making this this weekend, but instead of steaming the ham for 40 mins I tried pressure cooking (set it on top of the steamer plate and added water) for just 20. I thought that with pressure cooking you could reduce any cooking time by half, but I think because its not sliced it takes longer in the pressure cooker than sliced because the center didn’t get done. I really liked the flavors and I will try again for sure but will increase cooking time. I wanted to let people know about the pressure cooker in case they wanted to try pressure cooking it. Thanks for this recipe.
i have a pressure cooker i can try along with u but the 40 mins usually cooks everything as it is a small ball anyways ur welcome
Hi,
Your recipe looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it… But I have to ask… is the picture really of this recipe? It looks too perfect!
yeah yes it is the recipe Yes it is this recipe balled and scored glazed and baked It is 2 hams but I did not double as the recipe does not work doubled I made two The one in the front is scored too deep and that one at the back looks near perfect! Thank you 🙂

I cannot wait to make this! Thank you so much. 🙂
You have fulfilled a lifelong dream because I have always missed the flavors of my family ham with cloves and pineapple rings all these years. I knew there had to be a way to duplicate it. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 15 and now I’m 53 so that’s a long time to wait. (I think I liked the pineapple clove thing more than the actual ham but the smokiness was what made them so good.)
Hi, I tried to make the ham using flour with gluten added but having a hard time getting it to set. Was I supposed to use straight gluten? Thanks so much!
There is no flour in my recipe. You are suppose to use gluten
Ok,so just gluten, not gluten flour. I was able to use the dough flattened in a skillet and cooked like a ham steak. Thanks, will try with straight gluten.
ahhh I see what hapened you thought it was baking flour that has a high pecentage of gluten. 🙂
The recipe states gluten flour was is a gluten in a powder/ flour form. There is no regular flour in the recipe. Taymer
I believe what you posted made a ton of sense. But, think on this, what if you added a little content? I am not saying your content is not good, but suppose you added a headline that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Holiday Ham Recipe from Caribbean Vegan Vegan In The Sun is kinda vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article titles to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
I just finished making/eating this for dinner. It was EXCELLENT!!!!! My husband, who does not like sweet meals (aside from breakfast) said it was his favorite thing I have ever made as far as fake meats go, and one of his favorite things ever. I am not reserving this for the holidays, I will be making this for guests and for dinner regularly.
Hi there would you mind letting me know which hosting company
you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Kudos, I appreciate it!
Going to try this. If it works I will tweet and FB it out. Looks FAB!
I have made this a few times now and really like it. Just recently I baked it in a brown sugar mustard sauce, yum ! Thanks for a great recipe. 🙂
This ham was so delicious! I garnished it with pineapple rings and maraschino cherries.
Please everyone watch earthlings and gary yourofsky on youtube please and please go vegan it’s better for us it’s better for the animals and it’s better for the planet that we live on and be careful sugar is not vegan because of the bone char just search online for vegan sugar brands or just call the company or e mail them and ask them if they use bone char and be careful with the products that contain sugar just read the ingredients btw beet sugar and evaporated cane juice are vegan
http://zulka.com/our-story/ And it is CHEAPER than the “bad” sugars. I love it. I saw the bag and thought well for that price (1.89) it must be a smaller bag (white sugar was 2.59) and I looked and was amazed to see it was a 4 lb bag just like the white sugar. I love the stuff. I think it is actually a little sweeter than regular bleached processed sugar. Sometimes you may see a dark speck or two…this is because it is natural sugar!
I bought the Caribbean Vegan cookbook. This recipe sounds wonderful. I was disappointed that the glaze recipe wasn’t included in the cookbook but it’s irie because it’s here on the website 🙂 Thank you for the recipe and I advise EVERYONE who LOVES Caribbean food and is vegan to buy this cookbook!
thankyou from the u.k. this book is on my Christmas wish list, I have seen it being a pensioner I couldn’t afford it! my family will get it for me though. marvellous recipe.
Thanks a lot for providing individuals with remarkably spectacular opportunity to discover important secrets from here. It really is so brilliant plus full of amusement for me personally and my office mates to visit your website at minimum three times weekly to read through the fresh stuff you will have. Not to mention, I’m so at all times motivated concerning the incredible concepts you serve. Selected 3 ideas in this posting are honestly the most suitable we have all had.
