How to Make 5 Spice Plum Glaze For Ham

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the plum preserves, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, five-spice powder, and ginger.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and let the glaze simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
  4. During the last 15 minutes of roasting your ham or pork roast, brush the glaze generously over the meat, repeating every 5 minutes for maximum flavor and a beautiful shine.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
