Isn't it a shame to go to all that work and be disappointed?

I bought a spiral-sliced Hormel Cure 81 ham that someone had
raved to me about, "Better than Honey-Baked," they said.

Not. I cooked it exactly to the package directions. It was
merely OK, not very flavorful even with a glaze, nothing to write
home about. Too bad, but people did eat it along with oven-baked
sweet potato wedges, asparagus, and a nice salad with young
greens and grilled, panko-ed goat cheese.

When we had Christmas at our house the weekend before, we had a
wonderful grilled beef tenderloin roast. Now THAT tasted like
Christmas!
