Notes
Useful tips:
- If you bought fresh ham, you could trim away the layer of fat underneath the rind. But if you leave it, it will end up crispy and glazing delicious.
- Do not simmer the glaze for a long time. Just enough to make it homogeneous. If you simmer too much, it will turn into a hard caramel.
- Once in the oven, you can reapply the glaze to your honey glazed baked ham every 30 minutes for a juicy appeal.
