🍁 Sweet & Smokey Maple Holiday Ham Glaze

Bring big flavour to your next family feast with this easy, Canadian-made glaze featuring our Sweet & Smokey Maple Rub. It’s sweet, buttery, and packed with warm maple and spice — perfect for brushing over your ham, pork roast, or even grilled chicken during the holidays.

Ingredients

30 g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter

30 mL (2 tbsp) honey

200 mL (¾ cup) orange juice

7 mL (½ tbsp) brown sugar

15 mL (1 tbsp) Sweet & Smokey Maple Rub

Instructions

Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan, add the butter, honey, orange juice, brown sugar, and Sweet & Smokey Maple Rub.

Simmer the Glaze
Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and the mixture begins to bubble. Continue simmering for about 8–10 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

Glaze Your Ham
Brush the glaze evenly over your ham during the last 30 minutes of cooking, reapplying every 10 minutes to build a sticky, flavourful crust.

Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven, rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle any leftover glaze over the top before slicing.

Rave Tip

Use leftover glaze on grilled pork chops, roasted carrots, or smoked chicken for a sweet-savory hit. For a richer glaze, try substituting part of the orange juice with apple cider or real maple syrup.
