SWEET AND SOUR HAM



Sweet and Sour Ham image

I CAME UP with this recipe several summers ago. I had a ham in the refrigerator and was trying to avoid heating up the kitchen by preparing it in the oven. The stovetop was the solution. Ever since, this recipe has been my standby for when I have leftover ham. Served over rice, it's delicious! -Diane Widmer Blue Island, Illinois

SIMPLE AND SWEET HAM GLAZE



Simple and Sweet Ham Glaze image

A quick and easy glaze for your ham. I found it on cooks.com awhile back, and it is a favorite of my husband. You may not use all the glaze for a half sized ham. Servings depend on the size of your ham.

Time 5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup orange juice

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • To use the glaze, remove your ham from the oven when there's 30 minutes left. Pour off any drippings that have accumulated in your pan. Take a sharp knife and score the ham in a criss-cross pattern. If it's a spiral ham, making a set of vertical cuts should be fine. Use about a third of the glaze to coat the ham, and return to 400°F oven for 8-10 minutes.
  • Repeat applications of the glaze 1-2 more times, returning the ham to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes after each application of the glaze. Be sure not to use glaze in the bottom of the pan - this will dull the sheen.
