DEEP FRIED HAM

Steps:

• Thaw ham completely and pat dry.
• (When deep frying moisture on the surface will cause a lot of oil popping and splattering, be careful) Marinade (if using) Inject whatever marinade you want to use into several place throughout the ham (I recommend 10-15 spots).
• Place the ham in the steamer basket that comes with most turkey deep fryers and CAREFULLY and SLOWLY lower the ham into the hot oil (350-375 degrees).
• There is a lot of water in the ham!
• Since I couldn't put it in otherwise you must cook the ham about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per pound depending on the size of the ham and how much it cools down the oil.
• Obviously a smaller ham will take less time if the oil is hotter and a bigger ham will take longer even with the oil hot.
• If when you start the oil cools down don't worry just watch the temp and adjust your cooking time.
• Also for a bigger ham you would want to use less oil in the deep fryer so it doesn't overflow when the ham is lowered inches.

DEEP FRIED SPIRAL SLICED HAM

Steps:

• In an outdoor turkey fryer kind of contraption heat several gallons of peanut oil to 375.
• 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.
• Serve!
