This is very decadent, but pairs nicely with salty ham.
HOT FRUIT COMPOTE
2 cans pear halves in fruit juice
2 cans peach halves in fruit juice
1 can pineapple chunks in juice
2 cans mandarin oranges
1/2 C butter or margarine
3/4 C brown sugar
1 1/2 T corn starch
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp curry powder
Drain all fruit very well, mix and place fruit in 9x13 inch baking dish.
Melt butter. Whisk in brown sugar, corn starch and spices and cook for 3-4 minutes over medium heat, whisking constantly. A thick, bubbling, caramel colored sauce will form. Pour sauce evenly over fruit. Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 325 degrees. Serve hot.
Note: Butter will congeal on refrigerated leftovers, but will melt again when reheated.

Well since you dared to add Mayo, you may as well add a drum-hated pasta salad. Plus potato salad, deviled eggs and cut up fruit.

Orzo salad, however you like (tomato/mozzarella, or herbs/lemon, or greek style with cucumber/tomato/olives/feta)
Green beans tossed in sesame oil and sesame seeds (served cold)
Berries with mint
Maybe a quinoa salad or chickpea salad, or cucumber salad, depending on what kind of orzo salad I was doing
If lots of kids, maybe a homemade mac and cheese. Make ahead and just bake an hour before serving lunch
A platter of bought bakery treats, like chocolate croissants, mini muffins, slices of lemon bread, etc

I would love your tried and true Easter side dish recipes that can be made 24 hours in advance. I am especially looking for things that can be put out on a lunch buffet and served room temperature. We are having spiral sliced ham with rolls and various sandwich toppings and chicken salad for the non-ham people. I know chicken salad or anything made with mayonnaise is incredibly divisive on this board so I apologize in advance to anyone offended by mayonnaise.
