Print Recipe
Every ham needs a coat of glaze to bring out it’s flavors. This recipe is just a guideline. Glaze is after all a very personal thing. Brown sugar and simmering are the only rules.
Put the ingredients you have chosen for your glaze in a small heavy bottom pan.
Stir the ingredients together and heat to just boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low simmer and cook for 10 minutes or however long it takes for the glaze to reduce and slightly thicken
When your ham is about 20 minutes from being completely heated, remove it from the ovenand raise the heat to 375 degrees. Make sure it is in the pan cut side down and pour about 1/3 of the glaze over the ham. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or so.
Repeat the process of poring on the glaze and returning to the oven two more times.
Remove the ham from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before moving it to a cutting board. Slice the ham and drizzle with some of the pan drippings and serve.
