Notes

  • No matter what method you use, be sure to glaze both the outside of the ham and between each slice. It makes a huge difference in flavor and helps keep the ham moist!
  • There is no need to heat this glaze before using it. Simply mix together and use.
  • You can use this glaze on any ham - spiral cut hams, boneless ham, or bone-in ham all work well with it.
