Simple And Sweet Ham Glaze Recipes

THE BEST HAM GLAZE (EASY)

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together.
• Brush over a spiral cut or scored ham.
• If desired, brush extra overtop and broil to make the glaze golden.

BAKED HAM WITH SWEET GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan, and carefully pour about 1/2 inch of boiling water into the pan beneath the ham.
• Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (do not touch the bone) reads at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C.)
• Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, dry mustard, honey, and lemon juice as needed to make a thick, smooth paste. Brush the ham generously with glaze. Skewer 1 pineapple chunk and 1 maraschino cherry per toothpick, and insert the decorated picks all over the ham.
• Return the ham to the oven, and roast for 15 minutes. Baste the ham, fruit and all, with glaze and juices that have collected in the bottom of the pan, return to the oven, and roast for an additional 15 minutes. Let the ham rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

SWEET STICKY HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Set aside Pineapple Slices.
• Mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, butter, and molasses, in saucepan and heat until bubbly stirring continuously. Continue cooking for 10 minutes (the mixture will thicken only slightly). Then add the crushed cookies.
• Continue simmering and stirring while the mixture reduces by about 1/3. This will take about 15 minutes more.
• If you still desire a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
• Continue stirring the boiling sugar/juice mixture while adding slurry. You may not need to add all of the slurry, depending upon how thick you like the glaze.
• Cook for five minutes longer. The glaze should be quite thick and will easily coat the back of a spoon.
• 30 minutes before ham is finished cooking, use toothpicks to attach slices of pineapple all over outside of ham.
• Cook ham for an additional 30 minutes.
• Pour half of glaze over ham and pineapple slices.
• Reserve additional glaze for individual servings.

SWEET AND SOUR GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 325 degrees F. Combine jelly, mustard, lemon juice and ground cloves in medium saucepan; place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• SCORE fat on ham in a diamond design; stud with cloves. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch bone.
• BAKE, uncovered, until thermometer registers 140 degrees F (1 1/2 to 2 hours); baste every 15 to 20 minutes with sauce.
• HEAT remaining sauce; serve with ham.

SIMPLE AND SWEET HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• To use the glaze, remove your ham from the oven when there's 30 minutes left. Pour off any drippings that have accumulated in your pan. Take a sharp knife and score the ham in a criss-cross pattern. If it's a spiral ham, making a set of vertical cuts should be fine. Use about a third of the glaze to coat the ham, and return to 400°F oven for 8-10 minutes.
• Repeat applications of the glaze 1-2 more times, returning the ham to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes after each application of the glaze. Be sure not to use glaze in the bottom of the pan - this will dull the sheen.
