Watch the video for this recipe:
As the winter holidays are approaching, this Brown Sugar and Ginger Glazed Ham, with it’s juicy meat and sweet and spicy, caramelized sticky glaze, will be a delightful addition to your dinner table.
The ham I’ve used is already pre-smoked and cooked, all we need to do is to bring more flavor with this amazing glaze, that will make the ham with an irresistible golden brown and crispy exterior.
The glaze is made using brown sugar, honey and mustard, spiced up with cinnamon and cloves and with a good amount of fresh ginger, creating the best basting glaze you have ever made.
Serve this delicious ham with your favorite side dishes, we would recommend these mashed potatoe casserole, potato stacks or potato gratin and your favorite veggies. Hope you will try this out and enjoy!
