What Is Glazing A Ham?
Glazing a ham is the process of adding a sweet or savory coating to the surface of a cooked ham to enhance its flavor and appearance. The glaze is typically made with ingredients like brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, mustard, or fruit juices and is brushed onto the ham before it is heated in the oven for a final time. Glazing a ham can create a sticky, sweet outer layer while keeping the meat moist and tender on the inside.
