  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is completely melted and the glaze is smooth and bubbling.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze slightly thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Brush generously over your cooked ham during the last 10-15 minutes of baking, or baste while it's on the grill. Enjoy!
