How can you tell when my ham glaze is perfectly done?

Hello, fellow cooks! I'm experimenting with ham glaze for the first time and could use your expertise. How can you tell when it's perfectly done? I want to get that golden balance without overdoing it. Any visual cues or tricks you rely on? Thanks a bunch for your help!

I've found that when the glaze turns shiny and caramelizes a bit, it's good to go. Make sure it's not burnt by keeping an eye on the edges. Trust your nose too, if it smells sweet and delicious, you're on the right track.

The texture of the ham glaze is key for me. I aim for a smooth, velvety consistency that clings to the ham without being too thick or too runny. Excited to see how this recipe turns out and achieve that perfect texture!

Hey there! The best way to know when your ham glaze is perfectly done is by checking its consistency it should be glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
