Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze
If you couldn't tell we are a meat eating family. We hunt and catch most of our meat (moose, deer, grouse, fish) and try to buy locally raised meat when possible. My Husbands cousin raises pigs and chickens and then gets them butchered and sells them. We get the occasional chicken from her but usually get a 1/2 a pig and it gets butchered into various items. We got a lot of hams this year. They're nice and small 1-2 lbs and the perfect size for our family. The place that she got them butchered this year did an amazing job! They were done at Huber's Bavarian Meats and they are smoked just right. Everything we have had so far has been delicious. From the bacon to the pork chops and even the schnitzel!
I think we might even take some bacon out for a nice big family breakfast one morning this weekend because that's what weekends are all about! We love to spend time together as a family, doing activities with the boys. Saturday mornings are tot time with fellow friends and their kids. We all get together at the gym and let the kids run around for an hour, just burning energy and playing games. We then all sit down for a post play snack so the kiddos can refuel and chat/laugh. This time is so nice to watch as they come up with the funniest things to say and really are just having the best time possible.
As a family we do enjoy a good ham! Below you will find a recipe for a ham with a Brow Sugar Glaze. Our hams are small so if you're making a larger ham just double-triple the ingredients to make sure there is enough to go around.

Glaze Ingredients:
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbs orange juice
1 tbs honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp Heart Beat jalapeno hot sauce (optional)
3 tbs orange juice
1 tbs honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp Heart Beat jalapeno hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:
1. Set oven to 325 degrees
2. Score ham and place in roaster or cooking dish
3. Mix all of the glaze ingredients together and whisk until mixed well. Pour glaze over ham ensuring that glaze falls into the scored crevasses of the ham.
4. Cook for 30 minutes basting the glaze over the ham every 30 minutes.
* If cooking in the crock pot/ slow cooker following the above instructions for mixing the glaze and scoring the ham and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
This glaze is so flavourful! My husband and sons couldn't get enough of the sweet yet savory taste that it gives the ham. Add in the smoked flavour from the ham meat and you have an AMAZING combination. We paired our ham with some homemade cheese and potato filled perogies and some steamed vegetables. Not the most glamorous sides but on a Friday night after a busy week it is quick, easy and delicious!
