glazed ham

Glossy holiday meat

Glazed ham is a ham coated with a sweet, shiny finish—typically made from brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup—and baked until caramelized.

The glaze forms a sticky, flavorful crust that contrasts with the salty meat beneath.

A centerpiece of holiday meals, especially Easter and Christmas: She scored the ham in diamonds before applying the glaze.
