Notes
- If the glaze is too thick and you need to thin it out, add water a tablespoon at a time until it's the consistency you want.
- If you can't find spiral sliced, be sure to score the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern about 1/4" deep around the ham.
- You'll want to wait to add the glaze until the last 20 minutes of baking to keep the sugar from burning.
