[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.
MrQuallzin, I say there’s no such thing as too much glaze
edgemaster72, 
Yes.
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.
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”…
