How to Make Brown Sugar And Orange Glaze For Ham

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated white sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons orange zest, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugars are completely dissolved and the glaze has thickened slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. For best results, baste your ham with the glaze during the last 20-30 minutes of baking, basting every 5-10 minutes.
  4. Refrigerate leftover glaze for up to 3 days.
