ginger ale ham glaze for easter dinner
I created this recipe to glaze the 10 pound Hillshire Spiral Ham that I made for our 2014 Easter Dinner. I simply substituted ginger ale for another liquid ingredient I had used in another recipe. The glaze was thick and rich and just the right amber color to go over the ham. It is a very simple recipe and the addition of ground cloves and added butter, made this a perfect Ham glaze for our ham. This is a double recipe, so if you want less cut the recipe in half, but we enjoyed having the extra glaze on our ham.
