Notes

  • Use cornstarch: if you do not have flour on hand, you may use cornstarch in this recipe instead.
  • Don’t use high heat: If you let the heat get too high, it can burn the sugar in the ham sauce. Keep it to medium heat if possible.
  • Taste test: Give the ham glaze a taste while it cooks to adjust any of the ingredients to your liking.
