Ham is a classic dish that graces many holiday tables, but what makes it truly unforgettable is the glaze. A brown sugar ham glaze adds a perfect balance of sweetness, richness, and a hint of spice, turning an ordinary ham into a festive masterpiece. In this article, we’ll explore a delicious and easy-to-make brown sugar ham glaze recipe that will elevate your ham to new culinary heights.
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: Mix all the ingredients in a medium saucepan.
Heat and Simmer: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture as it heats up, ensuring all the ingredients blend smoothly.
Cook to Thicken: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar dissolves completely and the glaze thickens. This should take about 5 minutes.
Apply Glaze: Once your ham is nearing the end of its baking time (about 30 minutes left), brush the glaze generously over the surface of the ham. You can reapply the glaze a couple more times for an even richer flavor.
