What is a pink of ham
This is one of the easiest ways to make a nice dinner or appetizer for special occasions or holidays such as Easter.
Ham roses take their name because they look beautiful flowers, but they are simply only roll up of ham and cheese that are smoked and hot honey glazes.
And they are stressful because they are made with ham and sliced cheese by gastronomy, so you don’t have to get excited with the grill with a full ham. You can also prepare them the day before and smoke them when you are ready.

Ingredients

- Deli sliced ham: Direct out to the gastronomy counter and choose the flavor of the ham you like. I usually choose a smoked honey ham or a black forest ham. Ask them to cut it at the thickness level 5, which is between 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch
- Sliced cheese: You can use any flavored cheese and you can make them cut to gastronomy or buy pre-affected cheese. I like the pepper jack and the Swiss cheese. Cherdar cheese or provolone are also excellent choices.
- Apple juice: This is important to help keep the ham humid.
- Girls can grill the pork rubbing: This adds further sweetness and flavor to the ham.
SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of apple juice, you can also use soda, beer or water. You can even try this will deli sliced turkey or roast beef. Do a row of each to create a nice variety of meat roses.

- Brown sugar
- Hot honey
- Salty butter
- Kosher salt
Substitutions: If you prefer less heat, use regular honey instead of hot honey.

How to serve ham roses
To serve these roll ups of ham and cheese, place the pan or pan on the table on a hot bearing. Use a spatula or a spoon to prepare roses. It is better to serve them hot, so the cheese is beautiful and loose.
For a complete meal, serve on a bed of mashed potatoes with windows windows and a salad.

To serve as an easy appetizer, take into consideration the creation of 24 smaller roses with 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese. You can also protect yourself with a toothpick if you want, so they keep their shape better as finger food. For an added touch, garnish with green onions or chives.
For fun sandwiches, spread the rose on one side in a sandwich or in a crescent roll.
Warehouse
Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
If you want to do it in advance, rolled up, cover with plastic casing and smoke when you are ready.
