Ham Glaze
Perfect Your Pork
This Ham Glaze is one that I have used for a couple years. I personally never buy a fresh ham, as the amount of work seems intimidating to me.
I have bought the Honey Spiral Sliced Ham from Aldi for many years and I always get compliments on it. This ham was around $20 to purchase and it should feed at least 25 people, if not more.
I do not use the ham glaze packet that comes with, but I make my own which you will find in a full and printable format below. This ham recipe is an easy and delicious one that everyone will love.
PreSliced and PreCooked
The ham I get at Aldi is pre cooked and spiral sliced. This is a very easy ham for someone to make who is a beginner.
This ham already has a lot of flavor but I cook mine a few ways to make it even more great.
I put it in my crockpot with a can of root beer and a can of crushed pineapples and then wrap the top with foil.
Next I cook it on low for 6 hours.
At the end I place it on a sheet pan, pour the ham glaze recipe over it, and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and broil for 5 minutes at the end.
I have also made the ham in the oven in a roasting pan.
For this method I add the root beer and the pineapple, cover in foil, and bake at 350 for 1 hour to 90 minutes. Then I uncover, glaze, bake, and broil.
Simmer Down Now
When the Ham is done warming, I pour the glaze and ham drippings into a sauce pan and simmer it down for about 30 minutes and serve it along side the ham slices along with some Hawaiian Rolls.
It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser for any holiday!
