Equipment

  • Special tools needed: creme brulee torch

Ingredients
  

  • 5–6 lb spiral-sliced ham
  • cup honey
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • For garnish: roasted rainbow radishes

Instructions
 

  • Heat the ham according to package instructions. Let cool for 30 minutes. If you prefer to serve the ham at room temperature, let it rest outside of the refrigerator for 2 hours before beginning. A ham straight out of the refrigerator is fine, too! The caramelization process does not heat the inside of the ham at all.
  • Place ham on a flat work surface.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix to combine.
  • Drizzle the honey over the ham. Use a pastry brush to coat the entire outside of the ham with the honey.
  • Use your hands to apply the brown sugar mixture in a thin, even layer to the ham (the honey will help it stick). You may not use all of the brown sugar mixture.
  • Carefully use a creme brulee torch to caramelize the sugar on top of the ham, moving the torch constantly as you go.
  • Work your way around the entire ham until all of the sugar is caramelized. Serve immediately.

Notes

You'll need a Culinary Butane Torch and Butane. You can get both for under $25.
