Forgive me for being naive, but why won’t it work with a spiral cut ham? I already bought mine, my niece won’t eat ham unless it’s slathered in sugar, and I don’t want to make it inedible for me once everyone leaves after the holiday.
Thanks.
It’s hard to find a spiral ham that isn’t already all honey’d up but you can certainly use the glaze on anything, it just won’t look the same because the spiral ham is already scored so you may have to tweak the first part. The glaze is good for anything but spiral hams tend to be bigger so you would likely be doubling the recipe.
That makes sense. The ones I usually buy have the glaze separate so I warm it and put it in a gravy boat for anyone who insists on having sweet ham. Now I can enjoy it too! Thank you.
Very good recipe! My family adored it. Along with the meat, I sautéed peppers and onions in the marinade; everything turned out great. I chose to use freshly grated ginger rather than any that came from a tube, like another poster did.
