This recipe for Southern Sweet Ham Glaze is the perfect combination of sweet and aromatic. A little slash of bourbon packs a Southern punch.
Ingredients
| 1 | packed brown sugar |
| 1 | cup molasses |
| ¾ | cup spicy brown mustard |
| ¼ | cup bourbon, if desired |
| 1½ | teaspoons ground ginger |
| 1½ | teaspoons ground cinnamon |
| ½ | teaspoon ground cloves |
| ¼ | teaspoon ground black pepper |
Directions
Place brown sugar, molasses, mustard, bourbon, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper in mixing bowl and stir until sugar has dissolved.
Cook’s Notes: To use, spread glaze over a ham that has been scored with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern. Cover and bake 3 hours in preheated to 250°F oven. Increase oven temperature to 350°F and baste with more glaze. Bake uncovered 1 hour. Any remaining glaze can be heated and used as dipping sauce or gravy.
