Ham glaze

[DJT]

What kind of glaze do you use when you bake your ham? Something simple.

For a 10 pound ham I did

3 cups of honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
cup of butter (actually I think I used less than that more like a stick and a half)

Just melt it all up on the stove- baste the ham with it every 15 minutes or so.

Simple and YUMMY!

If you want to get all fancy schmancy - you can follow Alton Brown's Ham glaze - its a lot of work if you ask me, cookies you crumble, a spray bottle of bourbon I think - plus other stuff!

I cook my ham like Alton suggests, with an hour cook time left I pull off that rind and fat, then I take toothpicks and add pineapples - then I put brown sugar all over the pineapples, then I take the bottle of Honey I got at Sam's club (I am shocked at how expensive honey has become!) and drizzle that over it all - back in the oven...

the pineapples that come out of the oven are delightful!

Pineapple, apricot preserves, peach preserves, and brown sugar.

I just squeeze a bunch of honey on it and bake it. Easy and it tastes good.

Brown sugar, pineapple slices in heavy syrup (juice works, but is messier), and cherries.

Score the top of the ham about 1/2" deep in a diamond pattern. Doesn't have to be perfect.

Firmly pack brown sugar on top of ham - about 1/2" to 3/4" thick.

Add pineapple slices, securing them in place with toothpicks.

Insert cherries inside each pineapple slice. If you have enough cherries, you can add them in the spaces between the pineapple slices. Secure with toothpicks.

Gently poor pineapple syrup/juice over the top. Replace brown sugar that slides off.

Baste the top occasionally with the glaze that accumulates in the bottom of the pan while the ham is baking.

To make clean up easier, line the pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Cinnamon applesauce and brown sugar before I bake it.
