Ham Glaze Recipe with Brown Sugar and Pineapple Juice
Servings: 1 Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
Make the glaze
- Add the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce to a small saucepan.1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the brown sugar dissolves.
- Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Remove from the heat and use right away, or set aside until ready to apply.
Apply to a baked ham
- Bake the ham as directed until it has about 25 to 30 minutes remaining.
- Remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F.
- Remove the foil and brush the ham generously with the glaze.
- Return the ham to the oven uncovered and bake for 10 minutes.
- Brush with more glaze, then bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the outside looks glossy and lightly caramelized.
Apply to a spiral-sliced ham
- Follow the instructions for a baked ham.
- When brushing on the glaze, let some of it run down into the spiral cuts so more of the ham is coated.
Apply to ham steaks or ham slices
- Cook the ham steaks or ham slices until heated through.
- Brush the glaze over the top during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Turn, brush the other side if needed, and cook just until the glaze looks glossy.
- Watch closely so the glaze does not darken too quickly.
Notes
- The calories listed are for the entire batch of glaze.
- If the glaze gets too thick as it sits, reheat it over low heat until it loosens.
- This recipe makes about 1 cup of glaze, which is usually enough for a 7 to 10 pound ham or several ham steaks, even with a little extra brushed on or lost in the pan.
- Leftover glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
