1
If you couldn't find a pre-sliced ham, the first thing you must do is slice it.
-
2
Use a very sharp knife to cut the ham into very thin slices around the bone.
-
3
Do not cut all the way down to the bone or the meat may not hold together properly as it is being glazed.
-
4
You want the slices to be quite thin, but not so thin that they fall apart or off the bone.
-
5
You may wish to turn the ham onto its flat end and cut around it starting at the bottom.
-
6
You can then spin the ham as you slice around and work your way up.
-
7
Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
-
8
Lay down a couple sheets of wax paper onto a flat surface such as your kitchen counter.
-
9
Pour the sugar mixture onto wax paper and spread it around evenly.
-
10
Pick up the ham and roll it over the sugar mixture so that it is well coated.
-
11
Do not coat the flat end of the ham, just the outer, pre-sliced surface.
-
12
Turn the ham onto its flat end on the plate.
-
13
Use a blowtorch with a medium-size flame to caramelize the sugar.
-
14
Wave the torch over the sugar with rapid movement, so that the sugar bubbles and browns, but does not burn.
-
15
Spin the plate so you can torch the entire surface of the ham.
-
16
Repeat the coating and caramelizing process until the ham has been well glazed (don't expect to use all of the sugar mixture).
-
17
Serve the ham cold or reheated, just like the real thing.
