HONEY-GLAZED HAM INGREDIENTS
• Ham: This recipe calls for one 5-pound ready-to-eat ham. If your ham is larger or smaller, you’ll need to adjust the recipe.
• Cloves: Aromatic whole cloves add warm, spicy-sweet flavor.
• Honey: Of course, you’ll need honey. Pro-tip: Spray your measuring cup with cooking spray so the honey slides out easily.
• Corn Syrup: Dark corn syrup adds more flavor and contributes to caramelization. Some reviewers suggest substituting brown sugar or using a combination of corn syrup and brown sugar.
• Butter: Butter adds and helps retain moisture, resulting in a juicy honey-baked ham that’s impossible to resist.
