Graham crackers are sweet, but they do not taste like cookies. Historians
credit
a Presbyterian minister, Sylvester Graham, with the creation of Graham
crackers around
1829. Modern graham crackers bear little nutritional resemblance to the
original one, but the suggested serving size makes them a quick,
low-calorie
snack.
Packaged Sizes
Packaged graham crackers often have a rectangular shape. Each cracker
usually contains
a scored line that lets you break it into two squares. The actual size of
the rectangles
and squares depends on the manufacturer, but generally, a full graham
cracker sheet refers to the rectangle, before you separate its parts.
Serving Sizes
The companies that make graham crackers use the rectangular sheet to
suggest
serving sizes, as a rule. The standard serving for adults is two full
graham
cracker sheets
that weigh approximately 28 g, according to the USDA. This serving
contains
118 calories,
2 g of protein, 3 g of fat and 20 g of carbohydrates, of which 8 g are
from
sugar.
Most national bakers also use similar measurements as the standard serving
size for
their packaged graham crackers.
Children
Infants and children often consume graham crackers as a snack or a treat
after meals.
Parents who want to serve their children graham crackers should not use
the
adult
serving sizes on boxes of packaged crackers. The appropriate serving size
for children
between the age of 3 and 5 is one-half the adult serving or approximately
13
g. For
children ages 6 to 18, the full adult serving of two rectangular crackers
is
appropriate,
according to the Connecticut Department of Education's Office of Child
Nutrition.
Specialty Graham Crackers
Graham crackers may also have imaginative shapes, sugar topping, honey, or
a
chocolate
coating. In most cases, manufacturers suggest the same serving size for
plain and
specialty graham crackers. However, chocolate and other calorie-increasing
enhancements
do not increase the nutritional value of plain Graham crackers. Consumers
should
read the nutritional labels on Graham crackers before eating them. The
standard serving
of chocolate-coated Graham crackers contains 137 calories, 1.6 g of
protein,
6.6
g of fat and 19 g of carbohydrates, of which 12 g are sugars. You may need
to cut
the recommended serving size by half to keep your healthy snack from
ruining
your
diet with unnecessary fat, calories or sugar.

Hi. He covers the ham with the little cloves, then makes a Marmalade
sprite
glaze by mixing a half a jar or full jar with a 2 liter bottle of Sprite.
Then covers the Ham all over with the mixture. He says he also uses the
pineapple rings with sprinkled brown sugar on top. He's never done this in
the crock pot, but I think you would just add it all at the same time you
put the ham in. Oh, and I'm in Phoenix. North Phoenix.

HMMMMM, orange marmalade huh?
And sprite? When does he put that as he is preparing the ham?
I would like that better plus if he was using a little brown sugar.
What part of Arizona? I'm in Peoria.

Hi Teresa. I'm in Arizona too! As far as the ham in the crock pot, my
husband usually roasts the ham in the oven and uses orange marmalade and
sprite for the glaze. I don't know why this wouldn't work in the crock
pot.
The ham could just cook in it all day. Oh, plus he does sprinkle a little
brown sugar on it too, but that's it.

Hello Everyone
My name is Teresa, I'm from Arizona.
I was on this e-mail list backing the day well it has been several years
since I've been on here.
And my question to you all is I have found one recipe for a ham in the
crock
pot.
Which uses brown sugar, or coke a cola
Is there other ideas on how to cook
A ham in the crock pot, add other or use things besides the brown sugar,
or
the coke.
