Hi. Was wondering if anyone has an atkins friendly ham glaze? I'm making a ham and it has 1 carb /4 oz cooked ham. I figured that was pretty good for ham- so my 8 oz will only cost me 2 carbs... Should I just cook the ham the way it is from the package and just keep moist? I've never done ham before...

Re: atkins friendly ham glaze?
It depends what phase you are in and what foods you can eat within that phase.
For OWLers and Pre-Maintainers who have progressed through the Fruit Rungs, fruits like pineapple, apple, even berries can be boiled down and made into a glaze.
Personally, I never could stand candy-sweet hams----I'm the picky relative who insists on having ham slices nearest the bone.
The ham should keep moist if you cook it without a glaze. If you are worried about it, rub the ham all over with bacon fat before you bake it and baste it frequently with vegetable or ham stock.~Megs~

Re: atkins friendly ham glaze?
well i ended up using 1/2 stick of melted butter. poured it over the ham and then studded it with cloves. put 2 cups water in the pan and covered with tinfoil. cooked at 325 for 5 hours. basted it twice while cooking and it came out really really tender.Comment
