"Best ham I ever had! I used 2 cups of apple cider instead of water. I doubled the glaze recipe and would paint it on about every twenty minutes. I also used a butt portion and made my own spirals. Next one will be a spiral ham because that was not very easy to do myself :^

"My husband and I are not turkey fans at all. After many years of dry and tasteless turkey I was going to X the turkey out this year. BUT!!!! After watching this episode I had to give it a try. This was the first thanksgiving I’ve hosted and my guests were not too sure about what I was doing. I only had one prob. The caul fat was NOT see through and stretchy as on TV. Mine was very thick and not durable. I had to use little wooden sticks to keep one together. I was not able to cook most of it off, so before serving I just picked it off. Next time I’ll have to find a better one I guess. When it can time to reveal the master piece everyone couldn’t believe it! It tasted as good as it looked! About a week later everyone is still talking about it and wants me to cook it again next year. :^D PS: My local butcher now knows me by name. I guess its not everyday someone calls in asking for a pound of fat lol.
VERY JUICY

"O MY IT FANTASTIC!!! I made it for this year's Thanksgiving and everyone loved it :^D. Your palate is expecting sweet potato and you get a hint of orange and spice yummy. I’m not much for dried fruit so I left out the dried apricots.
