Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dr. Pepper soda
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon cloves (ground)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the Dr. Pepper soda, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for 7-10 minutes while stirring occasionally. The glaze should thicken slightly and develop a syrupy consistency.
Remove the glaze from the heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before using.
Brush the glaze generously over a fully cooked ham during the last 30 minutes of baking, reapplying every 10 minutes for a glossy, flavorful finish.
Serve the ham warm and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors of this easy Dr. Pepper glaze.
