Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. A bone-in ham will give you more flavor, but it will also take longer to cook. If you're short on time, you can use a boneless ham.
  • Score the ham. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and give you a more flavorful ham. Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld. You can store the glaze in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Baste the ham regularly. This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful. Baste the ham every 15-20 minutes with the glaze.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ham is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the ham should reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a rare ham, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a well-done ham.
  • Let the ham rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Sticky baked ham is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for any occasion. With its sweet and savory glaze, this ham is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give sticky baked ham a try. You won't be disappointed!
