This made the house smell good enough to eat! I helped make this and invited my Grandmom over for dinner. She liked it too! You did a good job Elmotoo!

This smelled so good cooking! I reduced the recipe to make 1 cup of glaze and then poured it over thick sliced ham steaks. I then baked them covered with foil. I used maple flavored syrup. I am sure the maple flavor would be stronger with pure maple syrup and would enhance this dish. I also seeded the jalapeno. That said, I really enjoyed this. It wasn't overly sweet or spicy, yet really added to the smokey flavor of the ham. This is one I will use again on a whole ham. If you desire more of a kick leave the seeds of the jalapeno in. I will next time. thank you for your RSC #10 entry!

We all loved this recipe! The glaze was more like a nice chutney which was an added bonus! The flavor profile was perfect for ham and I will make this again! Good Luck Chef!!!!

It was very quick and easy, and had a nice flavor. The golden raisins absorbed the flavors, plumped up, and tasted very good. The texture was more like a chutney cooked with the ham rather than a glaze. The ham never glazed. Perhaps less liquid would help with the glazing. Good luck with the contest!
