EASY BROWN SUGAR AND HONEY GLAZED HAM RECIPE [+ AIR FRYER HAM]

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line baking dish or roasting pan with foil.
• Use a knife to score a 1-inch diamond pattern over the whole ham, allowing more surface area for the glaze. Place ham in baking dish with some water to cover bottom of pan, no more than 1/4-inch of water.
• Cover ham with foil and plan to bake until ham reaches 140 degrees F with thermometer inserted into thickest part, about 15-20 minutes per pound, depending on the type and size of ham. (See Timetable for Cooking Ham for detailed cooking time estimates.) Glazing will happen during the last 30 minutes or so of baking time.
• As the last 30 minutes of baking time approaches, brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, until it begins to turn golden brown and aromatic. Swirl it around in the pan occasionally to help it brown evenly. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, mustard, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic. Cook for a minute or two until it becomes fragrant and just begins to simmer. Right as it begins to simmer, remove from heat and set aside. As it cools, it will become the consistency of a thick honey.
• Remove ham from oven about 30 minutes before done and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Brush or spoon 1/3 of the glaze over the ham. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Brush or spoon another 1/3 of the glaze and some pan juices, then bake another 10 minutes. Repeat with pan juices, remaining glaze, and bake.
• Ham is done when internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Broil for 2-5 minutes if you want more of a glaze crust, but don't let it burn. Let ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Follow all directions from above, but cook covered ham at 350˚ for 20 minutes in air fryer. Then remove foil and add glaze and cook for 10 more minutes. Slice and add more glaze, cook for 2-5 more minutes, if desired, and enjoy!

BASIC SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Place the sugar in a medium bowl and slowly stir in the milk and vanilla, a little at a time, to make a smooth, pourable glaze.

EASY LEMON GLAZE FOR DESSERTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Test the consistency by dripping the glaze from a spoon.
• Whisk in lemon juice or lemon extract. If you'd like it a bit thinner, add more milk as needed.
• Brush or drizzle the lemon glaze on a warm or cooled cake.

BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar with mustard in a bowl to make a smooth glaze. If mixture is too thick, stir in more mustard.

TRANSLUCENT SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Pour the sugar into a triple sifter and sift into a 1-quart mixing bowl. Add the water and stir with a rubber spatula until blended and smooth. The consistency should be thin enough so that a transparent film will cover the baked good. Adjust the consistency by adding water if it is too thick or sugar if it is too thin. Use immediately.

EASY SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine sugar and butter. Add corn syrup, stirring to combine. Drizzle in milk a little at a time until the glaze has a runny consistency. Use immediately.

BROWN SUGAR GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Remove the ham from its packaging. Let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Add enough water to cover about ½ to ¾ inch of a large pan with a roasting rack. Place the roasting rack on top and place the ham on top of the roasting rack, flat side down. Seal the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 10-12 minutes per pound.
• Make the glaze (do this 20 minutes before ready to glaze): in a saucepan over medium heat, combine all the brown sugar glaze ingredients, and stir to combine as it melts. Adjust the flavors as needed (for example, add more vinegar for more acidity, or more spices for more flavor). Reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 6-8 minutes until it's a bit thickened, stirring often. Set aside.
• Remove the ham from the oven and carefully remove the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Brush the ham with glaze, and then return to the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes, uncovered. Repeat this step 2 more times until caramelized.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before serving. Slice and serve. You can use the remaining brown sugar glaze for serving. Enjoy!

SIMPLE COOKIE GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan with a whisk.
• Bring to a boil and boil until the sugar dissolves and the syrup turns clear.
• Make this glaze before you begin making cookies, and allow it to cool to slightly above room temperature while you make and bake your cookies. When the cookies and the syrup are cool, brush each cookie with a very thin coat of glaze and sprinkle on decorations or large-crystal sugar.
• Allow glaze to dry for at least an hour before stacking cookies. Thin glaze will dry faster than a thick coat of glaze.

EASY BROWN SUGAR GLAZE FOR CAKES

Steps:

• Place butter and sugar in a medium saucepan and put it over low heat.
• Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
• Add cream, vanilla, and salt. Now you need to bring it to a boil.
• Remove it from the flame and set aside to cool. This will thicken it up and it will turn into a syrup.
• Use it immediately. If you plan to store it, place it in a sealed container in the fridge once it is cool and use in less than 2 days. If it has turned too thick and is unpourable, you will need to heat it up again to be able to use it. Heat it up in the microwave in 30-second intervals mixing every time to avoid burning.

EASY BROWN SUGAR GLAZED PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place grill pan on stovetop and turn heat to medium. Make sure you have the exhaust fan on as it can get smokey.
• Lightly brush both sides of pork chops with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and rub in brown sugar well on both sides.
• Place pork chops in heated grill pan and let grill for about 4 minutes. It may be necessary to adjust flame down a bit if they appear to be grilling too hot. But DO NOT touch them or move them around. Let the grill on first side for the 4 minutes.
• Now flip pork chops over and grill on 2nd side for 4 minutes.
• Turn off heat but leave pork chops in the grill pan and cover with aluminum foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes. This will finish the cooking process while keeping the pork chops juicy.
• Remove pork chops from pan and serve.

EASY DONUT GLAZE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients with an electric mixture, or by hand.
• Continue mixing for about a minute until everything is combined and the mixture is smooth.
• Add more milk or powdered sugar if the glaze is too thick or thin.
• Dip your donuts, one at a time, in the bowl until the donut is half submerged. Transfer to a wire cooling rack.
• Dip each donut one more time to get a nice, thick layer of icing. Let the glaze harden completely before serving.
• Eat and enjoy!

SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Put sugar into a large bowl. Gradually add milk, whisking until mixture is consistency of heavy cream. Tint with food coloring. If glaze becomes too thick, add more milk; if it becomes too thin, add more sugar. Use immediately.

HOW TO MAKE ICING WITH ICING SUGAR AND WATER

Steps:

• Combine powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl. Mix until smooth.
• Add more water or powdered sugar until it reaches your desired consistency. If using a piping bag, about 2 tablespoons of water is best (you want the icing to be about the consistency of pancake batter). If dipping or drizzling the icing, 3 tablespoons of water will likely be needed. See notes below for storing and freezing notes.
• Drying time: Depending on the temperature and humidity of your house, drying time will vary. For a thin glaze (dipped), I typically find that it takes 6-8 hours on the counter (uncovered) to fully harden. After about 3 hours, the outside is "set" but the inside will still be soft. You can place a fan nearby to help speed up the drying time.

BROWN SUGAR GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Bake the pork chops on middle rack of oven until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 135-140°F, 8-10 minutes.
• Check to see that pork chops are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
• Carefully transfer the pork chops to a dinner plate.
• Set the skillet from earlier over medium heat. Pour the pork juices from the casserole dish into the skillet. Add the butter, brown sugar, Dijon, cinnamon, and cayenne. Cook the glaze, whisking constantly, until it begins to bubble and thicken, 2-3 minutes. Once bubbling, place the pork chops in the skillet, turning to coat in the glaze.
• Plate the pork chops, spoon any extra glaze over the top, and serve immediately.

DOUGHNUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until warm. Sift confectioners' sugar into milk mixture. Whisk slowly, until well combined. Remove the glaze from the heat and set over a bowl of warm water. Dip doughnuts into the glaze, 1 at a time, and set on a draining rack placed in a half sheet pan for 5 minutes before serving.
