How to Make Pam's Awesome Apricot Rum Glaze for Ham
- Place all ingredients into a deep bowl or large measuring cup and blend with a stick blender. Adjust to taste and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- When ready to use, heat slightly to make glaze pourable for ease of coverage of the ham during the last 30-45 minutes of heating. Brush or pour glaze over ham 2-3 times to develop a nice crusty exterior. Save some to pass at the table for guests who want more sauce.
