Plum-Clove Glaze for Ham

This is a delicious glaze that we put on a baked ham. It is a very thick and spicy glaze that is just wonderful. It can be difficult to find the plum preserves, but usually can be found around Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter in more of the higher-end grocery stores. This is what I buy: Plum Preserves

When I bake a ham, I score it and place whole cloves in each cut, and then frequently brush on the glaze during the last hour of baking.

1 jar (12 oz) Plum preserves
1/3 cup Karo corn syrup (may use light or dark - I use light)
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

In a small saucepan, stir together the preserves, corn syrup, cloves and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes or until the preserves have melted. Keep warm and frequently brush the glaze on the ham during the last hour of baking. Heat and serve any remaining glaze as a sauce for the ham.

Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups
