Hawaiian Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

This is a more retro, old-fashioned and traditional way to make baked ham, one most are familiar with and enjoy. It is quite easy to make as well  and makes a perfect addition to any holiday table or buffet. During holiday seasons, often what is best is what everyone is familiar with and have memories of eating all their lives.

So in this way the breaking of bread not only is a festive and fun way to spend a holiday with loved ones, family and friends, but is also a way of keeping tradition, and remembering what has been.

I hope this recipe can become part of your family traditions if you don’t have a recipe you already use. Even if you do, look this one over and see if there is anything you can do to simplify or improve the recipe you have.

I have a recipe I use for a larger bone-in ham (Brown Sugar Glazed Baked Ham) but this recipe is written for the half ham size, boneless. You can also easily do this with a whole boneless ham- just double the glaze amounts accordingly.

I do hope you enjoy and that your Easter season is full of love, blessings and joy as we celebrate the renewal of life everywhere.
