Brown Sugar Honey Ham Glaze
This brown sugar glaze for ham starts with honey brushed onto the surface of the ham, and includes seasonal spices and real butter!
Servings 1 Ham
Ingredients
- Spiral cut ham or bone in, fully cooked ham shank half*
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 Cups brown sugar
- Honey
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl, the pour the contents onto a wax paper lined surface.
- Brush honey onto the outer layers of the ham to help the spices stick, then roll the ham through the spices, coating the surface well.
- Do not coat flat end, only the outer layers.
- If you are heating it to caramelize the sugar (recommended), rub the mix inside the slices of meat as well. Otherwise, only coat the outer layers.
- Serve cold, or place ham on baking tray and broil at 500° until sugar caramelizes.
- Watch it closely to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm, or cool and serve chilled.
Notes
* Slice your ham if it’s not already spiral cut, taking care not to cut all the way to the bone or the meat may not hold together properly as it is being glazed.
Turn the ham onto its flat end and cut around it starting at the bottom. This way you can then spin the ham as you slice around and work your way up.
