The Perfect Glaze for Ham

This Spiced Citrus Glaze takes your holiday hams and cranks up the flavor dial until the knob breaks off. The sweet and tangy notes of the glaze complement the rich, savory flavor of the pork perfectly. The glaze caramelizes on the surface of the ham as you cook it, creating a beautiful crust, Trust me, it’s as delicious as it looks. The warm spices in the glaze enhance the natural sweetness of the ham, creating an irresistible depth of flavor your guests will love. Try it with some of these recipes:

Flavor Profile: What’s Inside

This Spiced Citrus Glaze uses high-quality ingredients to give your smoked and grilled meats a desirable texture and one-of-a-kind flavor profile. A blend of warming spices that includes ginger, cloves, and cinnamon serve as the base. These enhance the natural flavors of your meats while infusing them with herby notes. The brown sugar not only adds sweetness, but a caramelized finish when added in the final stages of cooking. Finally, a little orange juice gives your BBQ a little bright, zesty kick.

What you won’t find in this Spiced Citrus Glaze (or any of my products) are any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. I’ve skipped the liquid smoke and high-fructose corn syrup, ensuring a clean, authentic taste that lets the real flavors shine. The Hey Grill Hey commitment to quality means you can feel good about what’s it th bottle. And that means you can feed your family and friends with confidence.

How to Use Spiced Citrus Glaze

Spiced Citrus Glaze works much like any other BBQ sauce or glaze, but with a bold, warming, totally unique flavor. Any recipe that already calls for this tasty glaze will tell you how much to use. It’s also super easy to add or swap out if you want some fall flavor. Just replace whatever sauce or glaze it calls for with equal parts Spiced Citrus,

To maximize the effect your Spiced Citrus Glaze plays in the texture of your BBQ, knowing when to add it is crucial. You may like more of a crispy, caramelized bark on the exterior of your meats. In that case, add your glaze before the final stage of cooking. This will allow it to slowly cook into the meat while developing that coveted coating. If you like a more saucy, silky finish, drizzle Spiced Citrus on your meat after cooking. You can also give ribs or chicken a quick toss to coat. Whichever style you prefer, Spiced Citrus Glaze will help you nail it.

Pairing Suggestions

This Spiced Citrus BBQ Glaze pairs amazingly well with the other products in my BBQ line. Give ribs with any of my rubs an extra layer of spiced flavor by finishing them in this rich glaze. However, if you want to really see what you can do with this versatile glaze, pair it with the Zesty Gold Sauce and Sugar & Spice Rub. (You can get them all in my Double Smoked Ham Kit.) You get a base flavor, binder, and a beautiful glaze, all in one kit. Don’t worry if you don’t have one, though. You can always find a yummy sidekick in the Rub section on my site.
