BURGERS’ CITY HAM GLAZED AND SPIRAL CUT
Keep Frozen until ready to use.
Your Burgers’ Baked Honey Glazed City Ham has been fully cooked and spiral sliced and needs no further preparation.

Then take your knife and slice through the center of the ham to the bone cutting perpendicular to the spiral slicing. Slices should now come off one at a time. If the slices do not separate, cut between the spiral slicing to release the slices.
Place on a serving platter and garnish if desired.
