Brown Sugar Glaze for Ham
Adapted From: Betty Crocker
Ingredients
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp Dry Mustard
1 Tbs Vinegar
Directions
Mix brown sugar, dry mustard, and vinegar in a small bowl. Mixture will be thick.
Remove the ham from oven 30 minutes before it is done.
Pour drippings from pan and remove any skin from ham.
Score ham surface lightly, cutting uniform diamond shapes.
If desired, insert whole clove into each criss-cross. (Cloves add a very distinct flavor!)
Pat or brush on glaze mixture.
Continue baking for 30 minutes.
(Glaze is enough for a 4 pound ham.)
Katie Dishes - One Thumb Down
I'm not a ham fan, but decided to try this for Easter this year. I think I did something wrong...the glaze hardened before I had a chance to brush onto the ham, so I ended up with chunky pieces of brown sugar. I hoped it would remelt in the oven, but it didn't. As such, if you are going to try this, I would recommend watching your timing very carefully!
My parents do love this, and have said that for this, the glaze turns into a nice au jus as well.
