3-Ingredient Ham Glaze

This is by far the easiest ham glaze recipe you'll ever make. It only takes 3 ingredients and 5 minutes and can be made in different flavors.
Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Course: Condiment
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12 tablespoons
Author: Christie Vanover

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fruit jam, jelly or preserves
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  • Mix: Place all of the ingredients in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and mix well.
  • Heat: If heating on the stovetop, place the pan over medium-low heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to simmer. If heating in the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  • Baste: Baste on your ham during the last 30 minutes of the cook. See above for more details.

Notes

You can use one flavor of jelly or combine flavors. See above for a list of suggested flavors. 
I prefer Dijon mustard, but you can also use yellow mustard or spicy mustard. 
This makes enough glaze for a 10-12-pound ham.
