A meat topping that is spread over a Ham prior to baking in order to enhance the flavor of the meat after it has finished baking and to help keep the Ham moist and tender in texture. Typically, a Ham Glaze will be thick and somewhat gummy in texture, but always pourable or spreadable. Some of the combinations of ingredients used in preparing Ham Glazes may include any of the following:
  • Tart of sweet Cherries, chunks of pineapple, corn syrup, spices, and mustard
  • Figs, cranberries and mustard
  • Brown sugar, corn syrup, prepared mustard, ginger, and cloves
  • Brown sugar, white vermouth or brandy, crushed pineapple, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, dry mustard, and orange juice

  • Brown sugar, ground mustard, ground ginger, black pepper, allspice, and marjoram

  • Brown sugar, cider vinegar, golden raisins, sliced peaches, cornstarch, orange juice, crushed pineapple, orange peel, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ginger
  • Sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, paprika, ginger, and allspice
  • Maple syrup and prepared mustard
  • Prepared mustard and an apricot or pineapple preserve
  • Cranberry sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, ground cloves, cinnamon, and allspice
  • Cranberry jelly, horseradish and dry mustard
  • Orange juice, soy sauce, flavored horseradish (e.g.,pineapple apricot), nutmeg, and cloves
  • Grape juice, chardonnay wine, orange juice, raisins, lemon and orange zest, almonds, apricots, cornstarch, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, mace, and nutmeg

  • Crushed pineapple and sweet chili sauce
  • Marmalade of choice mixed with whiskey or port wine
  • Guava jelly, pineapple juice, catsup, white wine, cloves, brown sugar, mustard
