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.

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 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.
