Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, spicy brown mustard, ground cloves, and ground ginger. (1 minute)

02

Step

Microwave on high power until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the glaze is smooth, about 45-60 seconds. Stir halfway through to ensure even melting. (1 minute)

03

Step

Pour the warm glaze evenly over your cooked ham, either whole or after slicing, ensuring every surface is coated with the luscious mixture. For an extra glossy finish, brush the glaze on in multiple layers, allowing each layer to set slightly before applying the next.

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or apple cider vinegar to the glaze.
If you prefer a less intense clove flavor, start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste.
This glaze can also be used on roasted pork loin or chicken for a delightful sweet and savory dish.
The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave before using.

    This glaze was a huge hit! My family raved about the flavor and how moist it kept the ham.

  • Jessyca Wardcartwright

    So easy to make and tastes amazing. I'll never buy a pre-made ham glaze again.

  • Emerson Lakin

    I added a little bit of apple cider vinegar and it gave it a nice tang. Will definitely make this again!
