Baked Ham Glaze (THM S, sugar free, low carb)
I don’t know about y’all but Baked Ham with a sugary glaze is one of our family traditions for Christmas! We have pretty much always had a “honey or brown sugar baked ham” on or around Christmas time. The smell is so amazing when you add that glaze to the baking ham…. oh my!
It was really important to me to make a glaze that would be amazing on our baking ham… and I think I succeeded!!
This glaze turned out so amazing I am trying to think of what else I can use this glaze for… maybe a sweet bbq glaze by adding a little tomato sauce, or a yummy baked chicken glaze or beef glaze or even a BBQ veggie glaze!
AND this glaze is EXTREMELY easy to make with very little ingredients and most of them you should have in your kitchen.
I used the THM Gentle Sweet… again, I will tell y’all how much I love that sweetener! If you are new to THM or just sugar free you NEED to give this sweetener a try. BEST SWEETENER on the market! I would not be caught with out it!!
And if you would like to order some… please use my affiliate link to the THM store here <—!
This is an S for my THM friends!
ENJOY!

Could this be done in the crock pot? Would you pour the glaze on in the beginning?
Hmm… possibly. But I would put the glaze on last (about 15 minutes before).
Thank you for this! I was wondering what I was going to glaze my ham with this year! Your recipes are just awesome! Merry Christmas!
Yay! 🙂
Cool! There appears to be a way todo everything KETO! Thanks! I do love a baked ham-
Sara you are a lifesaver! It’s New Year’s day, Keto side dishes premade ready to heat, and the ham needs to go in the oven. But NO glaze! I spent at least an hour searching for a glaze we could have while not blowing our diet. Thank goodness for your recipe. Your glaze is so good that I seriously can’t tell that it’s sugar free. Bottom line, You Rock! Happy New Year.
AWESOMENESS!!!
How many net carbs are in the glaze, and what would you consider a serving size?
Hmmm I don’t think there are any carbs. I’d say a good 2 tbsp. would be a serving size!
This is great thanks! I added mustard because I love a honey mustard flavour with my ham and it worked great.
This is a lifesaver for us – we are keto and I wanted to find a glaze that would taste good and that we could actually eat and feed to our guests. I can’t wait to try it!
