Maple-Pecan Glazed Ham image

Maple syrup is reduced to concentrate its lovely flavor. Then it is spiced up to create a delicious glaze for ham, which browns up to a rich color. It is a wonderful treatment from the usual pineapple and brown sugar glaze.-Nancy Mueller, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

This ham was a hit at our Easter dinner! The glaze was perfectly sweet and savory, and the ham was cooked to perfection. Even my picky kids loved it.

I'm not a big fan of ham, but this recipe changed my mind. The glaze was incredible and the ham was so moist and tender. I will definitely be making this again.

This ham was good, but not great. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste and the ham was a little dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
