This glaze has become a holiday diner favorite on our ham,everyone loves it
i wanted something different to serve my fab-cook Mom and Sis plus assorted other guests and, since i had all the ingred, decided on this one. it was WONDERFUL and everyone loved it. the aroma and complex flavors perfectly complemented the ham without overpowering it. highly recommended and i’ll be using it again.
