Some of Betty Crocker’s Favorite Holiday Ham Glazes that Make Them Shine

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.


Easy Maple-Mustard-Rosemary Ham Glaze
This sweet glaze, packed with earthy rosemary, mustard and maple flavors, will make your holiday ham a star.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup real maple syrup
tablespoons packed brown sugar
tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:
1. In small bowl, beat all ingredients with whisk. Brush over ham the last 45 minutes of baking.

Easy Brown Sugar-Mustard Glaze

Made from common ingredients you probably have on hand, this deceptively simple brown sugar glaze for ham adds deep, complex flavor to a baked ham dish. It adds a touch of sweetness and an extra punch of flavor to grilled or baked pork chops or pork roast, too. The key to this glaze is the brown sugar and honey, which caramelize on the surface of a ham or pork roast as they bake.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
tablespoons honey

Steps:
1. In small bowl, mix all ingredients with whisk until well blended.
2. Brush glaze over ham during last 45 minutes of baking.

Here’s one with some heat: Easy Honey-Sriracha Ham Glaze
Honey, garlic and Sriracha come together to make a sweet and spicy glaze—the perfect foil to a salty ham.
Ingredients:
½ cup honey
tablespoons packed brown sugar
to 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
clove garlic, finely chopped

Steps:
1. In a small bowl,
stir together all ingredients. Brush over ham the last 45 minutes of baking.
One more, with a sweet kick: Easy Root Beer-Barbecue Ham Glaze
Creamy root beer adds a perfectly sweet kick to this three-ingredient barbecue-inspired glaze that pairs perfectly with ham.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup root beer
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar




Steps:
