ham glaze recipe

This easy ham glaze recipe has the flavorful zing of balsamic vinegar, mixed with the sweetness of orange and brown sugar to bring you one of the tastiest hams you will ever eat!

Easy Orange Glazed Ham

orange juice

balsamic vinegar

brown sugar

salt

Place ham cut side face down in a roasting pan or 9x13 pan.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, and salt.

Pour half of the glaze over the ham. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Cook in the preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes per pound of ham, brushing twice with the remaining glaze during the cooking time. Remove aluminum foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

You could add in a splash of bourbon to this glaze or a few tablespoons of adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles), too. I use the same amount of glaze regardless of the size of my ham. Anything over 12 pounds, however, and I'd increase the amounts by at least 50%; you can always serve extra glaze on the side (just warm it slightly in the microwave just before serving).
