Mohamed Shili This delicious ham glaze, inspired by Bobby Flay, is the perfect way to add a sweet and tangy twist to your holiday roast or Sunday dinner. Quick and simple to make with just three common ingredients—brown sugar, honey, and orange juice—it creates a beautifully caramelized finish that’s sure to impress everyone at the table.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup honey
How To Make Ham Glaze?
- Mix the glaze ingredients: Combine 200g/1 cup packed brown sugar, 120ml/½ cup orange juice, and 170g/½ cup honey in a bowl. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves completely.
- Apply the glaze to the ham: Brush the glaze generously over your ham during the final 30 minutes of baking, repeating every 10 minutes for a glossy, caramelized finish.
- Serve and enjoy: If desired, serve any remaining glaze as a sauce on the side for extra flavor.
Recipe Tips
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor: Freshly squeezed orange juice gives the glaze a bright, tangy taste that complements the sweetness of the brown sugar and honey.
- Warm the glaze before using: Heat the glaze gently on the stovetop to help dissolve the sugar completely and make it easier to brush onto the ham.
- Score the ham before glazing: Lightly slice a crisscross pattern into the ham’s surface. This allows the glaze to soak in better, enhancing the flavor with every bite.
- Apply the glaze in layers: Brush on a thin layer of glaze at the start of the final 30 minutes of baking, then add more every 10 minutes for a deep, caramelized finish.
- Use a meat thermometer: Ensure your ham is cooked to the correct internal temperature (71°C/160°F for fully cooked ham) to avoid undercooking or drying out.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover ham glaze cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Reheat: Place the ham glaze in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until it’s warm and smooth.
