Simply the best ham glaze I have ever made. My husband loves it because it’s not very sweet.
Did just like the recipe but I added a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. It was a big hit with my whole family. I will definitely use this again.
Wonderful and absolutely delicious glaze. Added a pinch of ground cloves and a dash of maraschino cherry juice. Reduced on the stove for about 10 minutes. Used this glaze on a Hatfield boneless ham.
my ham tasted excellent with this glaze. not thick, just a light coating. justnperfect for the family.
It was quick and easy. I stuck cloves in the ham.Everyone had seconds so it was a hit.
Excellent Glaze! Have used several times basting the ham during cooking. This last time I added some of the maraschino cherry juice to the mixture and everyone loved it.
I HAD TO COOK THE GLAZE ON STOVE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT THICKED.
easy and delish! I did add a little dijon mustard to the mixture.
Definitely will make it again . I put pineapple slices on to with toothpicks, no other changes. I used a 9 lb fully cooked smoked ham and cooked it on low for 6 hours. Was ready by 5 hours. Delicious
It was good, but it needed to be thicker. Not sure how to do that though. Other than that, it was just fine.
I made this for a family Christmas dinner and it was a hit. I did add a tbsp of spicy brown mustard and some of the cherry juice.
Yes I sprinkled garlic powder in sauce and it was delicious I will use this recipe each time I come ham!
I cut down on the sugar, but overall it was a nice glaze.
Super easy, quick and tasty! Sometimes the most simple is the best!
I have used this glaze on hams a couple of times, and each time the flavor added to the ham is wonderful. This glaze is very thin, but I have enough to spoon it over the ham a few times. Enough of it sticks to the have to produce a wonderful glaze and flavor. As another reviewer mentioned, I also add a little Dijon mustard to the glaze mix. Since I never have enough pineapple juice from the can of pineapple slices, I always add a little orange juice. I will use this glaze for any hams I make from here on.
I made it exactly as directed and it was hit! Definitely will make it again
This was fantastic! Everyone loved it! Sweet, but not overwhelmingly so.
Exactly the simple recipe I was looking for. My mother always used whole cloves too. I’ll use either whole after scoring my ham or use powered cloves when I microwave the glaze.
I made it the first time exactly like the recipe called and it was excellent!! So much so that I had to make it again 🙂
I tripled the recipe and continued to pour fresh glaze over the ham. Super easy recipe !! Super yummy !! Very sweet but My new go to glaze
Absolutely enjoy the recipe and the outcome. I add less cloves but still this is great and delicious
