Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup (packed) brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, orange juice, and honey together in a bowl until the brown sugar has dissolved.
  • Brush over ham before and during baking.

Tips for the Best Ham Glaze:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients that are fresh and flavorful. Look for pure honey, dark brown sugar, and tangy pineapple juice.
  • Balance the Flavors: Achieve a harmonious balance of sweet, savory, and acidic flavors. Adjust the proportions of honey, brown sugar, and pineapple juice to suit your taste.
  • Bring Out the Citrus Notes: Add a squeeze of orange or lemon juice to enhance the glaze's citrusy aroma and flavor. Alternatively, use orange or lemon zest for a more subtle citrus touch.
  • Don't Overcook the Glaze: Keep a close eye on the glaze while it's simmering. Once it thickens and reaches a syrupy consistency, remove it from the heat to prevent burning.
  • Glaze Liberally: Baste the ham generously with the glaze throughout the baking process. This ensures that the ham is evenly coated and infused with flavor.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the sweet and savory goodness of a perfectly glazed ham. Whether you prefer a classic honey glaze, a tangy pineapple glaze, or a zesty orange-infused glaze, the possibilities are endless. Experiment with different flavor combinations and techniques to create a glaze that complements your ham perfectly. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you'll achieve a mouthwatering glazed ham that will be the star of your next special occasion meal.
