HOLIDAY HAM GLAZE
Tried several premade recipes and all were too simple or just didn't taste good. Decided to make my own from scratch being I learned how to do things like this while getting my chef certification. Baste onto ham roughly every 10 to 20 minutes for at least the last hour of cooking time. For a more encrusted glaze, start basting the ham sooner.

Steps:
- Stir brown sugar, lemon-lime soda, orange liqueur, cloves, allspice, salt, and black pepper together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook until glaze is reduced by 1/4, about 10 minutes.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into another saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer again and cook until glaze is about the consistency of maple syrup, about 10 minutes more.

### Tips
- **Choose the right ham.** A smoked ham is the best choice for this recipe, as it will already have a delicious smoky flavor.
- **Score the ham.** Scoring the ham will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust.
- **Use a flavorful glaze.** The glaze is what will give your ham its final flavor, so be sure to use one that you enjoy.
- **Cook the ham to the proper internal temperature.** The internal temperature of the ham should reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium ham, or 150 degrees Fahrenheit for a well-done ham.
- **Let the ham rest before carving.** This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy ham.
### Conclusion
This smoked ham with sweet holiday glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make holiday dish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your ham turns out perfectly every time.
