Ham Glaze

Ingredients

• ⅔ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup orange juice or pineapple juice
• 2-3 tablespoons Dijon mustard or grainy brown mustard
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch ground cloves

Directions

1. 01

   In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together.

2. 02

   Brush over a spiral cut or scored ham (see notes) about 20-30 minutes before the ham is done or when the ham reaches 115 to 120°F. Continue baking according to your recipe or until the ham reaches 138°F.

3. 03

   If desired, brush a second glaze overtop once the ham is done cooking and broil for 3 to 4 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

4. 04

   Remove from the oven and let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

• If your ham is not spiral cut, I recommend scoring the ham to allow the glaze to seep in. Before baking, use a sharp knife to cut diagonal lines in a diamond pattern about 1/8-inch deep.
• Nutrition information is based on 1 tablespoon of ham glaze.
• Unused glaze can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Stir before using again.
