[QUESTION] When glazing a Chrismas Ham how much of the ham do I cover?
I have a half Christmas ham and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to glaze only the top(fat) or if I’m supposed to cover the sides as well.
FuglyDuck, 
Cover the entire surface. (also, yes, score the entire surface).
Personally, I like to take a slightly thinner glaze and massaging it into the scoring more than just leaving it on top.
also, if you’re looking for honey “baked”…
Fizz, 
Thanks for the help but I burnt it 🥲

Fizz, At least it still tastes ok

TheGiantKorean, 
The taste is the main thing! What temp did you bake it at?
Fizz, 170c but I forgot what time I put it in. I was aiming for 1:30 cooking time.
TheGiantKorean, (edited ) Gotcha. Happens sometimes. That’s about what temp I cook mine at. I just check it occasionally to see if the glaze has crusted up.
Fizz, Yeah that’s why I brought the ham after Christmas. I wanted to practice cooking one. I think I’ve learnt enough to nail it next time.
TheGiantKorean, Very good thinking!
Fizz, Fuck I set the bread rolls on fire in the oven. Hopefully having a fire inside the oven doesn’t damage anything. This is going tits up.
TheGiantKorean, Damn, dude 😔
Yokozuna, Where the hell are all your timers my guy?
Fizz, I had a 15min timer that was reminding me to glaze the ham. But when the ham was done I got distracted and forgot about the rolls.
edgemaster72, 
Yes.
MrQuallzin, I say there’s no such thing as too much glaze
