I wanted to make a different glaze for our Hormel 81 Cure Ham this year, and went to the Kahlua web site and found this recipe. There was a bit of descrepancy in the recipe, in that I had never used STONED GROUND MUSTARD POWDER before, so I chose to used STONE GROUND MUSTARD PASTE IN THE JAR. DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE INTENT OF THE ORIGINAL RECIPE, BUT WE LOVE IT THIS WAY. Plus it only required about 5 minutes and it was ready to glaze the ham. Next time I will double the recipe. The taste is amazing, & having a good quality ham also helps. It made a beautiful presentation & was awesome

How To Make kahlua spiral glazed ham

  • 1
    FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CALLED FOR ON HAM PACKAGE TO MAKE HAM. My recipe said to remove disc over bone. Place ham FACE DOWN in pan large enough with a 2-3 inch side. Add 1 cup of water. Then cover ham tightly with aluminum foil, or a tight fitting lid. Bake in preheated 325 degrees F. oven at 15 minutes per pound, or until ham is warm. I baked mine for 2 hours, and then added the glaze during the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
