Amaretto Glazed Ham

I originally had a similar ham a few years back at my favorite cousin, Harry’s, house.  He’s a great cook and he made this by mixing Amaretto with the packet of stuff that comes with spiral sliced hams and it was delicious.  I believe that we had it for Christmas dinner.  I loved it so much and made it the same way for awhile.  Then I started to get a little more healthy and wanted to know what went into my foods.  Since I have no idea what is in the flavor packets that come with the spiral sliced hams, I made my own sauce simply using pineapple, brown sugar, cinnamon and of course the Amaretto.

My family loves this ham and if you are a ham lover, you will too.  I made a video to help you out and it’s only my second video so bare with me! 🙂
