Sugar Glaze (Brush on ham after baking)

Instructions
- Make room for the roasting pan in the oven, you may need to move a rack down one notch. Preheat oven to 275° F.
- Pour the pineapple juice on the bottom of the roasting pan and place a roasting rack on top.
- Combine 4 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons honey, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon mustard powder. Brush it over the top of the ham and into the crevices of the slices.
- Cover the ham loosely with foil, making sure to seal the edges around the pan. Bake for 15 minutes per pound.
- Combine the sugar glaze ingredients while the ham bakes.
- Remove the ham from the oven. Take the foil and place it clean-side-down. Place the rack with the ham on top of the foil. Sprinkle ¼ cup of the sugar mixture over the the ham.
- Leave 1/3 cup drippings in the roasting pan and set it on the stove over medium heat. Stir in the sugar mixture. Summer until desired thickness is obtained, adding more drippings as needed to control the consistency. Remove from heat and transfer the glaze to a heat-safe bowl.
- Place the rack with the ham back in the roasting pan.
- Brush desired amount of glaze over the ham, you don’t have to use it all.
- Transfer to the oven and broil at 450° F for up to 5 minutes to caramelize the top, watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn. Remove and brush with more glaze if desired.
- Serve with side dishes of choice, including potato salad or German potato salad and corn casserole. Have leftovers? Check out all of my ham recipes here.
Notes
I use ¼ cup pineapple juice from an 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple. If needed, you could use chicken broth instead.
Crock Pot Method: Cook on low for 4-5 hours. Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet or roasting pan to broil at the end once glaze is added. You’ll need a 7-8 quart Crock Pot to fit an 8-10 lb. ham.
