Bruleed Ham

DSC03447

If you like Honeybaked ham, you’ll love this.  Using sugar and a kitchen torch you can get a sugar crisp on the ham.  I’ve tried using both white and brown sugar, and brown sugar gives the best flavor I think.  Since my ham glaze has honey in it I just use that to brush on the ham first before coating it with sugar.  But you could also just brush with straight honey, I tried it and it was very good as well.
If you REALLY want to knock everyone’s socks off this Easter, smoke your ham instead of baking it, then brulee it!

BRULEED HAM
Spiral sliced ham
Glaze of choice, I use my recipe found here
Honey, optional
Brown sugar

Smoke or cook ham with glaze of choice.
At the end of cooking press sugar over entire surface of ham.  (Brush with honey first if you didn’t use a glaze)
Use a kitchen torch to “brulee” the sugar until it is golden and crisp.
Slice and serve!
