Description
I came up with the glaze for this ham using ingredients on hand and it’s the best I’ve ever tasted. If you have any glaze left over, you can add it to the pan drippings with a little flour or cornstarch and make a nice sauce to accompany the meat. Use the bone and ham trimmings to make soup afterwards.
