  1. I tried this recipe with our baked Easter ham and it was delicious. Since we were visiting my in-laws and no rum was available, I substituted orange juice. Also, we had a large ham and I wanted extra sauce to serve with the ham, so I doubled the recipe. Lots of good compliments, and when I was asked how I made it, I told people that it was my Zaar "secret" recipe! Thanks, secret!
     
  2. DH absolutely loved this glaze. The flavors are strong but not overpowering and it was perfect for the baked ham. I baked a small ham so we halved the recipe and there was plenty left over. It's a keeper!
     
  3. This has truly a very nice sweet taste prior to putting it on the ham, thanks to the molasses syrup, brown sugar. I did not add the rum! Make sure you WASH or SCRUB the ham before you do anything under cold water, if not your ham will be very salty and ruin the glaze.This also has a very good color along with the taste! You can adjust the amount you use by changing the size of the ham. In my case, I made a small bone in ham, 3 1/3 pound portion. Just put in the weight of your ham and you will not have any waste of the glaze.That way you will not make way to much or too little.
     
  4. Super Ham Glaze, Secret! I used this for our Easter Ham and the combination of flavors proved to be perfect! I didn't have any dark brown sugar so I used light and also used Dijon mustard instead of the spicy. I began glazing 45 minutes before the ham had completed baking and it turned out great! Thank you, Secret for a great recipe that I will be using from now on!
     
  5. Great flavor. I used this on the Christmas ham and it was loved by everyone. I also used it on a chicken breast for the family member who doesn't like ham and it was really good. I'll be using this on chicken when grilling time rolls around. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  1. Following another reviewer, I replaced the rum with orange juice. I baked an 8 1/2 lb ham and started glazing about 30 minutes before it was done. The ham was delicious! Fabulous glaze!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
