Our million dollar ham is coated with a sweet and savory glaze that's made with brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and spices. Our recipe testers compared the flavor of this glazed ham recipe to candied bacon (like this million dollar bacon). It's a must-make for the holidays this year. Million Dollar Glazed Ham Ingredients To make this million dollar glazed ham recipe, you'll need just a handful of ingredients. Ham: For this baked ham recipe, you'll want an 8- to 10-pound spiral cut, bone-in precooked ham. If you're unsure of all the options at the grocery store, check out our handy guide to all the types of ham. Brown Sugar: Choose dark brown sugar, rather than light, for the rich caramel flavor. Our recipe testers loved how the toffee-like flavor balanced the bright citrusy notes of the glaze. Juice: A combination of pineapple juice and orange juice is what you'll need for this million dollar recipe. Honey: In addition to the brown sugar, you'll sweeten the glaze with honey. Choose whatever type of honey you like best. Our recipe developers usually have a local honey in the pantry. Citrus: Grab one orange to make this Thanksgiving ham. You'll use both the zest and the juice. Mustard: It's worth grabbing a bottle of Dijon mustard to make the glaze. It's hard to replicate the flavor with another type of mustard. Spices: Flavor the glaze with ground cinnamon and cloves.
