Instructions

In a medium pot on medium heat, mix together all the ingredients with a whisk.
Bring to a boil and then lower temp to simmer for 8-10 minutes. Glaze will be begin to thicken.
Glaze your ham when there's 60 minutes of cook time left, again with 30 minutes left and then a final time when there's 15 minutes left. Leave the ham uncovered after the last basting with 15 minutes left.

Notes

This glaze is enough for 2 hams weighing about 10-12 lbs each. If using a spiral ham, glaze in between slices for an even MORE flavorful ham!

If you'd like a thicker glaze, make a corn starch slurry by mixing together 2 teaspoon of Corn Starch with 2 teaspoon cold water and then whisk the slurry into the heated glaze.

Cook ham to label instruction. Prep for about 12-14 minutes per lb of ham. Warm up your pre-cooked ham to 140°F.
