Orange-Spice Ham Glaze

My kids love this spicy glaze  and told me that I needed to share it.

Orange-Spice Ham Glaze Recipe

Although this recipe calls for pear sauce, I should note that it could be made with applesauce instead. In fact, I did make my ham glaze with applesauce for years, but the last time I made it I had an open jar of pear sauce and used it instead. We preferred the milder flavor of the pear sauce combined with the spices, but if you don’t have pear sauce, please just use applesauce!

I make both my own pear sauce and applesauce. They are made without sugar and I add spices. If you use store bought, I recommend using sugar-free, cinnamon flavored sauce. If you use a plain pear or applesauce, I suggest increasing the spices a bit to add more flavor.

I served the ham with Glazed Carrots and Peas with Green Onions and Basil.

    I don’t know if I have ever had pear sauce, but it does sound interesting as part of this glaze. The glaze sounds fabulous and perfect for the ham. Hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
