Cherry-Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

Christmas I made this 6 pound smoked ham with an amazing cherry-brown sugar glaze. I took the picture and forgot about posting it. I just looked over it and my mouth is watering. I just have to post it and the recipe on that glaze.

I believe the glaze is very versatile and can be used for many different kinds of meats and poultry. I have been thinking of using it for the slow cooker as a sauce for some country ribs and veggies. 

Cherry-Brown Sugar Glaze:
3 tablespoons brown sugar 
3/4 teaspoon ground mustard 
1 1/2 cups cherry preserves 
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 

Combine jam, brown sugar, mustard and cinnamon in small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it comes to boil. 

I then brushed part of the glaze on the ham after it has already cooked for 1 hour at 325 degrees. I then placed the ham back in the oven for another 30 minutes. I brushed it again with the glaze and let it sit until dinner is ready to be served.

The remaining amount of glaze was put in a gravy boat to pour over the ham when served.

The ham isn't perfect, but boy does it make my mouth water! It was a perfect addition to our family Christmas dinner.

Again, the glaze on the ham can be used for any recipe you can come up with. It is very versatile and extremely tasty.
