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.
