Two words: YUM-MY! I made this glaze to use on a 10lb. spiral cut ham on New Year's Day and the family loved it! I used brown sugar instead of the dark corn syrup and added 1/4 tsp. ground cloves to the glaze instead of using whole cloves on the ham. I actually used an oven bag and poured the glaze on at the start and only basted at the end of the cooking time after I took it out of the oven. I can't imagine how wonderful it must be when you baste as often as the recipe suggests. I just had too much to do to baste the ham during cooking. It still turned out wonderfully and this is my new glaze recipe from now on.

I just used a 1/2 smoked ham and this was wonderful! I did take the advice of other readers and used brown sugar instead of the corn syrup, cut the recipe in half and kept the same amount of butter as the full recipe. next time I would like to use ground cloves, but I only had whole cloves on hand and it still turned out great! hubby loved it!

This was my first ham and it was very easy to make. I don't think it was quite what you would get at the specialty ham store, but considering it was a fraction of the cost, it's good for me.

Followed te recipe exactly, cooked it in an oven bag and flipped the bag (flipped glaze in bag) every 15 minutes. Was very messy, bag got holes, actually will just glaze normally next time. If the glaze is kept warm it will not separate. Was yummy. About average I would say.

I use a bone in spiral cut ham during the holidays (usually takes 2x as long to bake due to the bigger size), and my family loves and raves over it. I also sub brown sugar for the dark corn syrup and exclude the whole cloves (everyone complained about them the first time).

Made this yesterday for my son's 21st birthday. As suggested by someone, I let it marinate over night in the glaze, then only needed to baste 3 times once in the oven. Used the leftover glaze for an orange sauce, served with corn on the cob and buttermilk biscuits. Everybody was raving about how good this was. Our guests asked, when I'll cook this again. For dessert I had pumpkin pie and the Warm Apple Buttermilk Custard Pie (both recipes from this site). Son, daugther, guests, all were happy. Guests even took leftovers home to enjoy another bite today. Thanks also to other reviewers for their input. Will make again.

I got a 10 lb spiral cut ham for New Year's Day that came with a glaze packet. After looking at the ingredients (e.g. three different artificial colors), I decided to look at all recipes for something better. Made some mods recommended by others - used 1 cup clover honey, 2/3 cup butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar; also dropped the cloves - don't like them on ham. Turned out pretty good.

Loved this glaze!! Following some of the suggestions, I did change slightly. Skipped the whole cloves, added 1/4 tsp ground cloves, used only 1 cup of honey. Had a store bought pre-sliced spiral ham. After ham warmed in oven for about 30 minutes, I started basting. Once warmed thru, I layered ham in a slow-cooker on warm, brushed w/ leftover glaze between layers. My family and friends raved about it. Said it was the best tasting ham they had ever had. Living overseas, this was definitely "a taste of home."

Have made this ham for Christmas and Easter the last two years, each time it turns out fabulous. I followed recipe to the letter. Unlike others, I never seem to have too much glaze. I normally buy a 9 or 10 lb ham and baste heavily (especially when first putting in the oven) with a silicone brush. I buy a spiral sliced ham, and my only addition to the recipe is using a wooden skewer to hold the slices together while baking. Great recipe..my son in law says it's the best ham he's ever had. This is a keeper.

Easy and good, but not the amazing dish I thought it would be. Having said that, pouring a bit of the glaze on individual slices before serving can definitely take it over the edge to great.

This glaze is absoutely the best that I have tried!!!! I bought a spiral hame and used this glaze. It makes alot but the more you use the better the ham. I did have leftover glaze but my kids took the slices of ham and dipped them into the warm glaze and put it on egg rolls and made the best sandwiches you have ever had!!!! I also used brown sugar instead of the syrup. If you try this you definately won't be disappointed.

My wife usually does all the cooking, but she's currently pregnant. Christmas dinner was my job this year. I am NO cook. This recipe worked out great! Followed the directions to the "T". It was a bit messy, but that was all me and my goofy $.50 baster.

Huge hit with the family and friends. I used a sugar cured spiral sliced ham, local clover honey, and followed the recipe to the letter. I highly recommend this Honey Glazed Ham. Instead of the broiler to finish, I used my convetion setting on my oven.

This is a great recipe. I used it for Christmas with a whole ham and continued to baste all afternoon. Everyone raved about the flavor. I did substitute brown sugar for the corn syrup with great results. I highly recommend this recipe.

great. my glaze didn't set up in the pan tho. It was delicious. I used Wildflower honey that was unfiltered and uncooked (the best) although orange blossom is right up there. kept it on a double boiler and used one of those new basting brushes that are no stick..silicone...the ham was an uncooked hickory smoked ham and the natural juices may have kept the glaze from becoming a piece of glass.....it was great

Like the other reviewers, this was way too much glaze.... and I had an 8 pound ham. Half the recipe would have been enough. I used honey, brown sugar, and butter... no cloves, they aren't my favorite spice unless I'm eating a cookie ! The glaze was thick and easily stayed on the ham everywhere I basted it. And the folks that said to line the pan were so correct... this glaze sets up in the pan very hard. The glaze had a really nice taste and made a perfect presentation of my ham. I will used this recipe over and over again.
