Brown Sugar Glazed Ham Recipe

Our grandma is such a good cook and makes the most amazing ham!

This recipe is my version of her famous Brown Sugar Glazed Ham.

The glaze on this ham is so delicious and makes the ham have a delicious, crispy skin and juicy inside.

If you are looking for the perfect Easter or Christmas ham recipe, we highly recommend trying this one. It is phenomenal.

Do I put my glaze on at the beginning and let it cook?

For this recipe, we put on the glaze at the beginning, before the ham cooked, to allow the flavor of the glaze to cook into the ham.

To let the flavor settle a little more, we sliced the ham to really get the juices to sink in, and bake into the ham.

We didn’t have a problem with it burning to the bottom. Our ham had so much juice and glaze, that it created the perfect amount of juice to make a ham gravy. We have never had any problems with our ham burning.

If it does concern you, you can add the glaze for the last 30 minutes, of cooking, but it won’t have as rich of a brown sugar glaze flavor.

How to make ham gravy:

There is no other gravy, quite like ham gravy. I am obsessed with ham gravy and mashed potatoes. If you have never tried ham gravy, you need to because it is so easy to make.

Here is how to make it:

• Once your ham is done, remove it and set it aside.

• Make your gravy by mixing, the ham drippings (I will usually strain out all the fat or ham chunks that fell off as it cooked, if there are any, just to avoid lumps in my gravy), 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 Tablespoon of milk or water.

• Whisk it until it is completely smooth and there are not lumps. I also like to let it come to a boil to thicken if it is thin.

• I like to pour this gravy over my potatoes and ham.
