Ham Glaze Recipe Brown Sugar - Easter Ham or For New Year's

If you want an easy ham glaze recipe, that is melt in your mouth delicious, you have come to the right place. With this recipe your ham will look and taste absolutely amazing. The best part is no one will know just how easy it was to make it.

My Grandmother made a glazed baked ham every year for dinner, on New Year's Eve for the whole family. There would be fifteen of us all gathered around the dining room table. However she always had to get a much larger size of meat as everyone would always want to take some home with them. This was because she had a ham glaze recipe that is so good, it makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

So when I was ready to move into my own place, I asked her to show me how to make her ham glaze recipe. This was a family tradition that I wanted to be able to carry on for my family. I have I asked various members of my family for the recipes that we all love to make sure we don't lose any of them. Some pay tribute and remember family through photos, I do it through food.

This is the one that my father uses. While I make the Ham, he is the one who slices it into beautiful portions. He likes that it comes with a storage case. That way he always knows that the carving knife and fork are together.

My mother likes that It has a groove around the sides to capture any juices which helps prevent a mess. What my father likes the best about this board is that it has spikes which will help keep the meat in place as he is carving it.

The size of ham is very important. You need to make sure of a few things when purchasing one. First and foremost, will it fit in what you have available to cook it in? You also need to make sure that you have enough to feed everyone for dinner.

In my family you also have to make sure that you have enough leftovers for everyone to take some home with them. Just make sure you divide it evenly as members of my family have been known to check to make sure that they got their fair share.
