If your spiral-sliced pork is in your holiday menu, don't spend big dollars and time browsing a lengthy line in the niche pork store.
Rather, do-it-yourself with my copy-cat recipe which makes a scrumptious and difficult, sugar-glazed crust on the store-bought pork.
You'll need only a couple of simple ingredients along with a blow torch, offered at hardware stores for around $15.
I got myself an 11-pound Archer Farms bone-in spiral-sliced pork at Target for $1.99 one pound. Thinking about HoneyBaked Hams are more expensive than $7 one pound, you will save big with this particular recipe. I saved greater than $50!

1/2 teaspoon paprika
Honey or corn syrup
1 pre-cooked spiral-sliced pork, any size, without or with bone
Blow torch or oven broiler to melt sugar
Directions: Mix sugar and spices together inside a bowl. On the heat-proof platter covered in aluminum foil, put the pork meat-side lower and brush with honey or corn syrup, which will help sugar mixture stick to pork. Sprinkle and press sugar mixture around outdoors of pork.
Fire-in the blow torch and employ sweeping motions to melt and crystallize the sugar mixture until crispy and golden. The whole process takes only a couple of minutes, so take care not to burn the sugar! If you prefer a thicker crust, increase the sugar and repeat using the blow torch. A lazy Susan is helpful to assist evenly brown the sugar.
Without having a blow torch, place sugared pork underneath the broiler inside a 500-degree oven for any couple of minutes. Watch carefully because the sugar starts to caramelize. It takes place rapidly and simply burns.
When you are finished, wrap the pork tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil and refrigerate.
Serve at 70 degrees or heat inside a 325-degree oven until just warm.
