Simple Steps to a Spectacular Ham

Don’t be intimidated by the idea of glazing a ham – it’s surprisingly easy! Our recipe walks you through each step, ensuring even novice cooks can achieve a beautiful, caramelized finish. The combination of brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and spices creates a glaze that’s both sweet and tangy, perfectly complementing the smoky notes of the ham.

Tips for Glazing Success

  • Basting is Key: Baste the ham with the pan juices and glaze every 10-15 minutes while it bakes. This will help keep the ham moist and ensure an even, glossy coating.
  • Don’t Overcook: A ham is already cooked, so the goal is to heat it through and caramelize the glaze. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and drying out the ham.
  • Get Creative: Feel free to personalize your glaze by adding different spices or herbs. A pinch of ginger or a dash of cayenne pepper can add a unique twist to your ham.

A Honey Glazed Ham is more than just a meal; it’s a symbol of togetherness and celebration. Gather your loved ones around the table and let the aroma and flavor of this classic dish fill your hearts with joy.
