Description

Honey-glazed baked ham is a delicious dish consisting of a piece of cured or fresh ham slowly baked and covered with a sweet and shiny glaze made primarily with honey. This ingredient is very popular in recipes for celebrations and special occasions due to its balanced flavor between salty and sweet, which adds a special touch to any menu.

The origin of honey-glazed baked ham lies in European culinary traditions, especially in countries like Spain and in Central and Northern European countries where ham is prepared as a main dish for holidays and family gatherings. The honey glazing technique adds a layer of caramelized flavor that enhances the texture and aroma of the ham.

Regarding its properties, ham is an important source of protein and B vitamins, especially B1, B6, and B12, as well as minerals like zinc and iron. However, due to its sodium and fat content, it is recommended to consume it in moderation. The honey glaze provides natural antioxidants and an additional energy boost thanks to its natural sugars.

In different regions of Latin America, this ingredient and dish can have various synonyms, such as: glazed ham, glazed pork leg, honey-baked ham, or simply glazed leg. In some countries, it may also be called glazed pork loin, especially when a piece of pork loin is used instead of traditional ham.
