It’s wonderful and simple to make. The best part is that it can be prepared days in advance and stored for up to 3 months in the freezer or 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

Reviews
This was a hit at Thanksgiving. It was not so very sweet like a maple glaze or traditional brown sugar glaze. It was just right for a wide range (including International) taste buds.
If I could rate it higher, I would! Perfectly simple, but I had my doubts. Nothing gained if you don’t try, so I did! Very glad I did.
And you are correct, they did come back for more. This was easy and delicious. Thank you Kelly.
I made this for a belated family Thanksgiving dinner, and it was delicious! Very simple to pull together, with a nice taste.
For those of you who don’t like ketchup or would prefer a little bit more tang this recipe works equally well using yellow mustard instead of ketchup.
My husband loves ketchup so I thought I would give this a try. It was very good. Funny thing is I have tried for years to make a ham with a sticky glaze like his mother made. She would never tell me the secret. So I figured maybe this was it. Only thing is she would pour a jar of cherry ham glaze on top at the end to trick evryone in thinking this was the only glaze on it. I tried this and only changed one thing. I added some pumpkin spice with extra clove spice and allspice to make it a bit spicer and it works great! At the end if any of the glaze is bare pat on more ketchup and sugar mix and turn up heat for 15 minutes.
I was looking for something quick and easy, but tasty for cooking a ham and this sure met all my needs. My family loved it!! This is one recipe I will be making again and again.
Made this for the two of us for Christmas Day, on a 4 lb ham. It was quite delicious, and didn’t taste like ketchup, but more of a tangy, sweet almost BBQ type sauce. Will make again and try adding whole mustard seeds or pineapple pieces just for variety.
I made this glaze for our Thanksgiving ham and there wasn’t a bite left for sandwiches the next day. Thank you Kellie it was wonderful!
Tastes really good! i added a bit of pineapple juice to the ketchup. I also think that scarring the ham or letting the ketchup mixture marinate would give it more taste. Besides that it was wonderful.
