"I watched Paula made this on her show and asked my husband if he would want to try this for Christms. He did. He fries turkeys each year so he is very experienced using a deep fryer. I followed the directions exactly for brining the ham and he cooked it exactly like the recipe said. The skin was dark but not burnt. We pulled off the thick skin and poured the glaze over the ham. I took one bite and felt I would choke on it if I didn't chew well because it was SO tough and dry. The entire ham went straight to the trash. A lot of time, effort and money just wasted. I will never make it again. Thank goodness I had two smoked turkeys and 2 roasted fillet of beef made just in case the ham was a flop. Trust me, my husband and I do some serious cooking around here so if I tell you this recipe is not good. believe me.
