Simple Tip!
you’re able to make the glaze while the ham is heating up in the oven.
Return to the oven, and baste a couple more times every 20 minutes.
For a glossier exterior, briefly broil the ham just until the glaze bubbling and shiny.
Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
The brown sugar and mustard do the heavy lifting here.
That being said, you’re able to swap out the water for a number of flavorful liquids.
Pineapple, orange, or apple juice are obvious choices.
For a tangy glaze, swap half or more of the water for apple cider vinegar.
Beer, soda (like Coke), or even spiced rum work nicely, too.
