There’s something about a beautifully glazed ham that just feels festive. Maybe it’s the way it fills the kitchen with warmth, or how that glossy, caramelized finish makes it the centerpiece of the table.
But here’s the thing—getting that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savoury doesn’t need to be complicated.
This quick glaze has become one of our go-to favourites. It comes together in minutes, uses simple ingredients, and delivers that classic flavour that keeps everyone going back for one more slice.
The One Ham Glaze Recipe you will use again and again...

- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar

Whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
Brush generously over your ham during the final 20 minutes of baking, allowing the glaze to warm, caramelize, and create that signature glossy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Wine Pairing
This glaze opens up some beautiful pairing opportunities, depending on what you’re in the mood for:
Scoria – For those who prefer a fuller red, Scoria adds depth and richness and spice, pairing beautifully with the caramelized edges of the glaze.
Magma White – The perfect match. Its bright acidity cuts through the richness of the ham while complementing the sweetness of the glaze, keeping everything fresh and balanced.
Lava White – Off dry and Crisp, with tropical notes and minerality that lift the dish and cleanse the palate between bites.
Rosé – A natural spring pairing. Fresh berry notes mirror the glaze’s sweetness while still offering enough structure to stand up to the ham.
Gamay – Light, juicy, and full of red fruit. Its acidity balances the saltiness of the ham without overpowering the dish.
Simple, reliable, and always a crowd favourite. This is one of those recipes you’ll come back to long time and time again.
