Baked Ham with Asian Barbecue Glaze made of hoisin sauce and dried clementine peel. Beautifully caramelized and perfect for any occasion.
Remember I told you I bought two spiral cut hams for Christmas 2015? Well, this Baked Ham with Asian Barbecue Glaze is the other one I prepared a little later during the holiday period. Since ham is a favorite for Easter, I decided to to post this recipe so that you have choices when that holiday rolls around.
Asian Barbecue Glazed Ham
The inspiration for the glaze used in this recipe comes from the ever popular Char Siu (Chinese Barbecue Pork. However, I used whole cloves and dried clementine peel in place of five-spice powder just to give it its own unique flavor. I think it turned out quite well and I am happy with the glaze. 🙂
