The Best Ham Glaze

Give your ham a flavor boost with this 5-ingredient ham glaze!

Ingredients :

  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup orange juice or pineapple juice
  • 2-3 tablespoons Dijon mustard or grainy mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch ground cloves

Directions :

  • In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together.
  • Brush over a spiral cut or scored ham (see notes) about 20-30 minutes before the ham is done or when the ham reaches 115 to 120°F. Continue baking according to your recipe or until the ham reaches 138°F.
  • If desired, brush a second glaze overtop once the ham is done cooking and broil for 3 to 4 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  • Remove from the oven and let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
