Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick salted butter
1/2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar, light or dark
1/2 Tbsp mustard, yellow or dijon
1 pkg 12 oz hawaiian king sweet rolls, 12 rolls
1/2 lb black forest ham, slices
12 slice monterey jack cheese, or 4 oz shredded
rasperry preserves

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees In a small pot, melt stick of butter with Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and mustard until thoroughly melted and combined.
2. Meanwhile, take rolls out of package and slice through all the rolls (while still attached), cutting them in half horizontally.
3. Brush the glaze mixture onto both sides of the rolls, covering well.
4. The glaze is what takes this over the top, so don't be stingy. Just leave a little to brush on the tops.
5. On one side of rolls, add sliced ham, then top with cheese.
6. Put top on rolls and then brush the tops with leftover glaze mixture.
7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
8. Slice and serve! Put out some warmed Raspberry Preserves and let guests slather a bit of it on their rolls.
9. I have been known to add a bit of pineapple juice to the glaze mixture when I have it on hand. Pineapple pairs so nicely with ham. Add about a tablespoon
