I am looking for a recipe for glazing Xmas ham. Any suggestions?!
Answers: here's an easy one clean ham rinse pat dry score fat in whatever design you want. by the way no measuring for this recipe, take one bottle of gulden dark brown mustard or any stone ground mustard you can find and one bottle of honey doesn't matter what kind i prefer orange blossom or clover honey smear or ham bake for lbs allotted for the size ham you have covered in foil or i cheat and use my dutch oven because it has a top. But the last half hour the juice that have collected in the bottom of pan ladle over the ham every 5-10minutes . 2 simple ingredients give good flavor and color plus you probably have both in your pantry so no trips to the market are necessary.

Above is a link to Paula Deen's recipe for glazing a ham on Youtube. It is also in grocery stores. I think it looks good!
place the ham in the pan, poke holes in it, pour honey on it, then pour pineapple soda over it, stick pineapple chunks with cherries on it and place covered in the oven
Just watched Alton Brown do one the way his grandma did....
Score your ham and put in roaster, cover with foil and bake at 250 for 3 hrs.
Remove from oven and remove skin and fat. With brush spread brown mustard all over it, sprinkle with brown sugar, pat it into the mustard. Spritz with spray bottle some good bourbon all over ham. Run ginger snap cookies through food processor until finely ground, and then sprinkle on ham. Place back in oven un-covered on 350 for 1 hr.
pour 2 cans of coca cola and 1 cup of melted butter over ham, pack brown sugar onto the ham... start cooking, spoon liquid over ham every 15 minutes.
GLAZED PICNIC HAM
1 picnic ham, any size (meat tenderizer, garlic powder)
1 sm. can pineapple juice
3 oz. cherry juice
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 box brown sugar
1/2 c. cane syrup
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 lb. butter
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Combine all ingredients in small saucepan and bring to a boil. Allow to cool. Baste ham before and during roasting.
My favorite ham glaze is fairly simple.
First, score the fat on the ham in a pretty pattern (a diamond pattern is easy to create by cutting across the surface to about a 1/4 inch depth diagonally at one inch intervals and then in the opposite direction).
Then combine a can of crushed pineapple, slightly drained with about 1/2 cup of brown sugar (light or dark... either will work) and a Tablespoon of yellow mustard in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce to a syrupy consistency and baste the ham every half-hour or so AFTER the first hour of baking. If you start the glazing too soon, the glaze will burn because of the high sugar content. You may also want to stud the ham with a few whole cloves and adorn with a few pineapple rings. Both complement the glaze.
Good luck!
