simple ham glaze

Here’s a very simple ham glaze you can mix in minutes and brush on during the last 30–45 minutes of baking:

3‑Ingredient Simple Ham Glaze

• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons orange juice (or pineapple juice)
• 2 tablespoons mustard (yellow or Dijon)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, juice, and mustard until smooth and syrupy.

2. Brush generously over your ham about 30–45 minutes before it’s done, then return to the oven.

3. Baste once or twice more as it finishes baking; for a glossy, caramelized finish, you can briefly broil at the end until the glaze is bubbly.

This works on pre‑cooked, bone‑in, boneless, or spiral hams—just follow your ham’s package directions for overall cooking time and use the glaze at the end.
