If you're preparing a baked ham for Easter Sunday or another special dinner, the best way to enhance the taste is with a delicious, sweet glaze. There are several glazes you can try, depending on the flavors you want to bring out; however, you'll find a mixture of a sweetener (usually brown sugar) and other flavoring ingredients in all of them.
The purpose of the glaze is to balance the meat's salty flavor and highlight the ham's sweetness. As it bakes, the glaze will caramelize, creating a layered, deep, and sweet taste. The glazes also trap moisture, keeping the ham perfectly moist as it cooks.
I love my classic Brown Sugar Glazed Ham, but you can also try my Honey Baked Ham. Or experiment with other rich ingredients, like bourbon and peach, along with the sugar. Add a mix of spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, to further enhance the recipe.
Brown Sugar Peach Baked Ham
This recipe includes peach preserves, orange juice, and comforting spices in the glaze. It adds a bright, sweet flavor to ham that is perfect for spring!
You may think of this apple cider glaze for Christmas, but the sweet, spiced flavor tastes amazing with ham and is perfect for any time of year when you want something delicious.
