Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

Glaze:
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer about 10 minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
Bake ham according to package directions. Baste ham with the glaze several times during the last 30 minutes of baking. Remove from oven, slice and serve with sauce.
Sauce:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add onion and sauté 1 minute. Stir in pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, dry mustard, cloves, and honey. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Add raisins and simmer over low heat until raisins plump. Whisk cornstarch into rum and stir into sauce. Cook, stirring until sauce begins to thicken.

Serve warm sauce spooned over ham slices.
