9 steps

Ingredients

  • 7 lbs ham, spiral sliced and glazed
  • 3 gallons peanut oil, about, as needed to properly fill pot

Directions

  1. 1
    In an outdoor turkey fryer kind of contraption heat several gallons of peanut oil to 375.
  2. 2
    You can use the oil left over from frying a cajun turkey- it is seasoned and hot already and just perfect.
  3. 3
    Lower the ham - unwrapped of course- into the hot oil.
  4. 4
    Do not do anything to the ham- just remove from package.
  5. 5
    As the ham fries it will 'seal' the outside with a type of crust like crispy bacon and seal all the juices inside.
  6. 6
    Fry about 7-9 minutes- longer will give you MORE crust, shorter will produce less crust. You may need to make this recipe a few times before you find the perfect 'doneness' for you.
  7. 7
    Carefully remove from oil and let drain and cool a little.
  8. 8
    Slice as you would any spiral cut ham.
  9. 9
    Serve!
