Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup molasses

  • 1 1/3 cup spiced rhum

  • 3 tablespoon ginger root, fresh (minced)

  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard (heaping)

  • 2 teaspoon cloves (ground powder)

  • 3 hot peppers (or more to taste)

Directions

  • Mix all ingredients together & bring to a boil. Simmer a minimum of 5 minutes
  • Liberally coat ham or other meat
  • Bake in 300 degree F oven
  • Brush generously with glaze every hour

Notes

  • Also makes an excellent sauce post cooking. Defat the drippings, then reduce volume by half on a simmer. 1 to 2 teaspoons of corn starch, mixed with water to make a paste; add to simmering drippings while whisking. Serve in a gravy boat.
  • I usually defat using a baster, but will also cheat if not using the drippings right away & put them in the fridge or freezer so the fat solidifies on the top & is easy to remove.
