Holiday Ham Glaze

Tried several premade recipes and all were too simple or just didn’t taste good. Decided to make my own from scratch being I learned how to do things like this while getting my chef certification. Baste onto ham roughly every 10 to 20 minutes for at least the last hour of cooking time. For a more encrusted glaze, start basting the ham sooner.

Step: 1

Stir brown sugar, lemon-lime soda, orange liqueur, cloves, allspice, salt, and black pepper together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook until glaze is reduced by 1/4, about 10 minutes.

Step: 2

Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into another saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer again and cook until glaze is about the consistency of maple syrup, about 10 minutes more.

The most obvious way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. When you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But often you can made a dish do more often .
