No really. I successfully (and tastily) pulled this off last Christmas. Not really that hard, best done OUTSIDE.
Honey Torch Baked Style Ham Glaze
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground clove
1/8 teaspoon paprika
dash ground ginger
dash ground allspice
1. Buy a spiral cut ham. You can find these at most grocery stores.
2. Mix the ingredients together in a small sized bowl.
3. Put down a couple sheets of wax paper or foil onto a flat surface, preferrable outside. Pour the mixture onto the wax paper or foil and be sure to spread it on all parts of the surface you covered.
4. Pick up the ham and roll it over the mixture coating well. Do not coat the flat end of the ham just the outer surface.
5. Turn the ham onto its flat end on a large plate or on several layers of foil. Whip out the blow torch or a creme brulee torch 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, take it slow. Spin the plate to allow you to get the entire ham until it has been well coated and carmelized. Expect plenty of left over mixture.
