Top Secret Reicpes Version of Honeybaked Ham Glazeby Todd Wilbur
- 1 cooked ham shank, half, bone in (pre-sliced)
- 1 cup sugar
- 14 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 14 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 14 teaspoon ground cloves
- 14 teaspoon paprika
- 1 dash ground ginger
- 1 dash ground allspice
- If you couldn't find a pre-sliced ham, the first thing you must do is slice it.
- Use a very sharp knife to cut the ham into very thin slices around the bone.
- Do not cut all the way down to the bone or the meat may not hold together properly as it is being glazed.
- You want the slices to be quite thin, but not so thin that they fall apart or off the bone.
- You may wish to turn the ham onto its flat end and cut around it starting at the bottom.
- You can then spin the ham as you slice around and work your way up.
- Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Lay down a couple sheets of wax paper onto a flat surface such as your kitchen counter.
- Pour the sugar mixture onto wax paper and spread it around evenly.
- Pick up the ham and roll it over the sugar mixture so that it is well coated.
- Do not coat the flat end of the ham, just the outer, pre-sliced surface.
- Turn the ham onto its flat end on the plate.
- Use a blowtorch with a medium-size flame to caramelize the sugar.
- Wave the torch over the sugar with rapid movement, so that the sugar bubbles and browns, but does not burn.
- Spin the plate so you can torch the entire surface of the ham.
- Repeat the coating and caramelizing process until the ham has been well glazed (don't expect to use all of the sugar mixture).
- Serve the ham cold or reheated, just like the real thing.
