Method

  • Prep. In a small saucepan, combine the glaze ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until you need it. It will keep for weeks.
  • Serve. If using as a ham glaze, begin brushing the ham during the last hour of heating so that the sugars do not burn. Brush the ham once more just prior to serving.
