"This glaze was a hit with my extended family at Christmas. The orange zest added the pizzaz! I used juice from canned pinapple chunks and then put the chunks in the glaze during the last 10 — 15 minutes of baking and served them with the ham. I will use this recipe from now on when I bake a ham."

"Wow is this good! I had a smoked pork shoulder, 5 1/2 pounds. Gave it 3 hours in the pot with the cola. I can't even say how EASY this is to make. It only takes 10 minutes in the oven, how easy is that? The ham is juicy, tender, and delicious!"

"Who would think something so simple would produce such a delightful result!! The ham was glazed to perfection, fork tender and tasted just wonderful.The taste of this glaze is a perfect balance for ham. This is definitely a keeper in my book!"

"This is a great recipe. We all enjoyed it & great way to use up leftover ham."

"I thought it was great and so easy. I made it on the spur of the moment and had everything in the house, including the pineapple in the freezer! I love raisins, and somehow think that raisins go with ham, so I threw in a handful while it was simmering. A winner!"

"I'd never thought to use gingersnaps as a crust for ham, but it totally works!! A lovely spicy sweetness is added to the ham and it's not over powering at all. I'm not usually a mustard lover, but again it totally worked with this ham! May have to make it again for Christmas morning!"

"This recipe is the best recipe I have ever reviewed on this site, and that is saying a lot since I have 63 reviews. I followed it exactly and all I can say was it was awesome. I will now be making this for Thanksgiving and Christmas as well!"
-MsBaton
"Awesome recipe! It was worth hauling out the blender. I like spicy foods so I left in the pepper seeds and consider the heat perfect!"
-Shoshana
"Easy to make and delicious!! Will definitely make this again! I halved this recipe and baked a small ham in a roaster with the lid on. Moist and the whole family loved it and ate the whole thing up!"

"Yum! Was looking for an easy recipe for a Sunday ham and this was both easy and delicious. The molasses gave the ham a beautiful color and presentation was very nice."
-LonghornMama
"My Hubby and I both agree, this is this best ham we have ever eaten. I used brown sugar and pineapple. It was great. When we have ham from now on, it will be like this."

"FANTASTIC!! I don't think I need to say anymore!! My 3 year old and husband were chanting, HAM, HAM, HAM (no joke!) What a zip. This is the best...bar none ham I have EVER had."
-Tiphani
"OMG! This ham was delicious! I was shopping around for a recipe to use for Easter and decided to test drive this one and WHAT A WINNER! Had some family over and we have all decided this is our Easter ham, Yum-Yum!!!"
-Kat Rahal
"Amazing! Your recipes never let me down! I warmed up a ham in the crock pot on low for about 1 1/2 hours and basted every 15 minutes or so."
-MissCeleste
"Loved it!!!! Used leftover spiral sliced ham, loved the sauce!!! The wine, the cheese, the onions...delicious!!!!"

"I have been making this EXACT recipe for over 25 years. My SIL gave me the recipe written on an old envelope and it is really torn, tattered, and stained now. I'm so glad to put this in my cookbook......you know that envelope can't last much longer!!"

"I made this for Easter dinner with my sister and her family. Everyone said it was the best ham they have ever had. I did mine overnight in a large electric roaster. The meat was tender and the brown sugar and honey made the meat succulent."
-Whinyard
"This is a delicious way to bake ham, and very simple. This is the way we have always done it in my family, but we use Dijon mustard, and add cherries with the pineapple rings."
-Kibbie
"Yum! Was looking for an easy recipe for a Sunday ham and this was both easy and delicious. Omitted the pineapple and cherries because I was being lazy, but the molasses gave the ham a beautiful color and presentation was still very nice."
-Charmie777
"This recipe is excellent. I have made it several times. My family loves mozzarella and uncured ham. Feel free to get creative! Make sure to pour a little sauce on the already made bottoms before you add the tops. Amazing every time!"
-merrykcollins
"I did a ham butt with this glaze in the crockpot for Christmas dinner. I cooked the ham on low in the pot for 6 hours, drained the juices off, then poured the glaze over it and cooked it for 2 more hours. It was falling off the bone and tasted divine. My guests said it was the best ham they have ever eaten!"
-Donna M.
"I cooked this on my grill pan and while it was messy, it was perfect! ALSO IMPORTANT! ALL 3 OF MY KIDS cleared their plates and wanted more! THAT says a lot!"
-mrsironchefnot
"The last time I made this, my girlfriend advised me not to remove the ham fat after simmering it in the cider. I did it both ways, and it came out great each time."
-Blues
"Oh, the compliments! Everyone agreed that although it was different from Honey-Baked, it was every bit as good."
-highcotton
"I found this recipe by accident about several years ago and it is now a family tradition for Christmas and Easter. My family can't get enough of it. I would recommend this recipe to anyone. Don't change a thing! It's moist and juicy, I have to hide the leftovers or there won't be any."
-snowghost
"This was perfect for a quick week-night meal. My whole family enjoyed it and I will definitely use this glaze on ham steaks again."
-Tunnia
"Wow, this ham is fantastic! I got a spiral sliced bone-in ham on sale today and used this recipe to make it. This is THE BEST ham that I've ever eaten! I usually stay away from it because it gets too sweet but this is savory and tangy and DELICIOUS!"
-PSU Lioness
"Wonderful, tasty, moist ham. The Manischevitz Sweet Concord Grape wine was a surprise ingredient, but it accentuated the ham taste. Our Christmas gathering concluded that the 30 ounces of liquid ensured a moist ham and helped to desalt the ham as well."
