Baked ham just isn’t ham without the glaze. Here
are some super easy delicious glaze recipes that you can make up from scratch
that have four ingredients or less and can be made in less than five minutes
from Betty Crocker. You can brush the glaze on the entire time the ham is in
the oven or add the glaze towards the end of your ham’s cooking time. Each of
these recipes makes enough glaze to coat a family sized ham (6-10 pounds). One
final tip: Cutting a criss-cross diamond pattern into the top of your ham will
ensure that the glaze soaks all the way through, making the meat extra
flavorful and tender.
