Ham


I made this ham for dinner last Sunday, and everybody was a little worried because I was experimenting again, but it was so good!


Bake a ham as the instructions say. (It would be best to buy a spiral sliced ham, so then you don't have to cut it yourself)


Then mix the following in a bowl:

1 c. sugar

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp. ground clove

1/8 tsp. paprika

dash of ground ginger

dash of ground allspice


Sprinkle the mixture onto the cooked ham all over it. Then use a blow torch with medium flame and caramelize the sugar. Wave the torch back and forth so the sugar browns and bubbles but doesn't burn. Continue all over the ham until it is well glazed. Then serve it right then or you can put it in the oven to reheat it some more.

Wow! That looks good! And I bet the torch part was fun/scary! I would make Jon do that part - whose husband wouldn't love cooking with a torch?

You're so brave! That sounds dangerous but the ham looks delicious!
