Ingredients
- 7 lbs ham, spiral-sliced and glazed
- 3 gallons peanut oil, about, as needed to properly fill pot
Directions
In an outdoor turkey fryer kind of contraption heat several gallons of peanut oil to 375°F.
You can use the oil left over from frying a Cajun turkey — it is seasoned and hot already and just perfect.
Lower the ham — unwrapped of course — into the hot oil.
Do not do anything to the ham- just remove from package.
As the ham fries it will 'seal' the outside with a type of crust like crispy bacon and seal all the juices inside.
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.
Carefully remove from oil and let drain and cool a little.
Slice as you would any spiral cut ham.
