- "I've made this ham glaze several times now, and it's always a hit with my guests."

Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can insert a sharp knife into the thickest part of the meat. If the juices run clear, the ham is done.
- To prevent the ham from drying out, cover it loosely with foil during the last 30 minutes of baking.
- Let the ham rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
